No Key, No Plan Songtext
von Okkervil River

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
