The Plan Is a Mess

Watsky - The Plan Is a Mess Lyrics

[Chorus]Yes, the plan is a messMess is part of the planSwan dive into the noiseAnd fate can never catch usWe can never fall[Verse 1]Feels like so long ago that I was ditching plan ASwitching it to plan BHit another hitch and I can my plan CDash my plan D, then burn E, F and G in effigyI'm still scufflin’ right past my plan ZSo I had to give 'em first names like hurricanesPlan "Myrtle" came down like purple rainPlan "Kareem" careened off a cliffAnd then Plan "Cliff" got smoked like a spliffPlan "Biff" biffed itPlan "Kate" ate itMan placates himself, claims it's fatedThey say everything happens for a reasonI say еverything happens, the rеason’s postdatedI'm so jaded, I'm so solidlyOn some kiss my ass to astrologyShit just happens and we find a way(That's such a Virgo thing to say)[Chorus]Yes, the plan is a messMess is part of the planSwan dive into the noiseAnd fate can never catch usWe can never fall[Verse 2]I'm happy to let you think that this was my intentionPart of my invention right from the beginning, fail my way to winningAll in the risk-reward up on my vision boardReady to rip the cord when I'm in the air free fallingI just woke up in a motel outside NashvilleAll my money's spent and my band is goneLa-la-la-la-la, life's a country songI’ll tell you to fight on, tell me I’m an iconI cannot survive long living without applauseDon't want to take a pause, why did I make my causeBuilding the myth of myself? (Vanity)Beta cuck made a buck bitching on my problemsEven though that everybody and their mama got some(Pop gun) We’re robbin' the bank and shooting a blankIt's not a job I could ever fake (Time to run)[Chorus]Yes, the plan is a messMess is part of the planSwan dive into the noiseAnd fate can never catch usWe can never fall[Outro]It has been a minute, but we are back, motherfuckersMe and my friends made this record for youThey are all producers, they're musicians, they’re quality human beingsGive it up for Max Miller-Loran on the keys and hornKush Mody on the keys and bassChukwudi Hodge, AKA Michael Dublé on the drum set (Let's fuckin' go!)Mister Carmack, 'cause we got the Bay in the houseCamila Recchio, 'cause we got Seattle in the house (Hey)Pat Dimitri, who's not on guitar 'cause he's slangin' NFTs now, but (No)Give it up for independent artists not being broke, we love to see thatCome on (Okay, okay, okay)Give it up for life being a series of deeply personal choices and compromises (Woo!)I know I did my best for youAnd I really hope you enjoyYou can call me by my family name
