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
'Til I'm tumbling
But really, I just want to slide
I want to crash-land
While my friend, my a**ociate
He's a regal man
Bindles and he twists and ties
Gives the reckoning
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
Oh
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
Well 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
But I'm gonna try
Oh
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
There isn't then
So just breathe it in
