i used to plan and plot

and try to live correct

lately i do a lot

of things that don't make sense



now i must do what i must

now why do you think that a man

jumps out of the frying pan

into the fire when he can

find a way not to get burned?



i must do what i must do

and i do though i know better

i must do what i must do

(even though he's gonna get it!)



below the sky above

beyond what's good and true

some thing as loud as love

calls out i can't refuse



i must do what i must do

and i do though i know better

i must do what i must do

(even though he might regret it
