Lyrics

I just don't know anymore, what my life is for
So please don't ask me what to do.
I try like a man to do what I can,
But I never seem to know what I knew.

Chorus:
And I've got no more big plans for me honey
I've unlinked the chain of tomorrows from my mind
I've got no more big plans for me honey
I'm gonna sit back and watch my life unwind.

Now every time that I define just what I have in mind
I get bored with the picture that it makes.
I do a lot of thinking about words and their linking,
And about the right way one creates.

Repeat Chorus

Now I don't want to bother; guess I'd really rather
Let ideas pursue a pathless scheme
And in this manner I hope I'll see, all my whole life in reverie
Reflected off an eyeball in my dream.

I've got no more big plans for me honey.
I'll wrestle with tomorrow when it's now
I've got no more big plans for me honey
Big plans always wear me out some how
I said big plans always wear me out some how.
