Lyrics for No Key, No Plan
When I'm hosed and they're closing in, maybe only then Really, I'll try to get right with myself But I'll grope down that ladder again, until I'm tumbling But really, I just want to slide, I want to crash-land While my friend, my associate, he's a regal man He bindles and he twists and ties, gives the reckoning And then it's back on the road again with maybe thirteen grand Moralize all you might like, I don't believe in it You've never earned your soul, I know You've never earned your soul, I know You've never earned your soul, I know But I'm gonna try, though, I'm gonna try I'm a rich young sophisticate, I've got girls and friends I'm doing what I really like and getting paid for it There is no key, there's no plan; I discovered that And, truly, I don't think you'll find a happier man You've never earned your soul. I know You've never earned your soul, I know You've never earned your soul, I know I'm gonna try, though, I'm gonna try. We can float up high and it isn't a sin And There isn't a hell where we'll be sent There's only now, and there isn't then, So just breathe it in
