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 bundles 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.

[Repeat: x3]
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. 

[Repeat: x3]
You've never earned your soul. I know, 

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.
