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.
