No Key, No Plan Lyrics - Black Sheep Boy - Okkervil River

When I'm hosed and they're closing in, maybe only then, 

really, I'll try to get right with myself. 

So 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, (x 3) 

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, (x 3) 

but I'm gonna try, though, I'm gonna try. 

You 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.
