Lyrics But Never a Key (Deluxe Edition) - Dirt Poor Robins

Algernon
You won't need these flowers
They've revoked the horrors
Your tragedy
Now ends happily
And I'm sure that they won't be done
Till they fenced off the ledges
And rounded the edges
Of all that goes wrong
For you, Algernon

Gone are the days where you're endlessly racing
Towards Pavlov's reward
Now your maze is replaced by the locked door
You asked for

Oh-oh
That's the way that it goes
I'm sorry you'll never be free
If all that you see is the danger the cage will relieve

And oh-no
That's the path that you chose
A true hedonist indeed
So don't lift a finger, your warden provides all you'll need

But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh

Algernon
You're wound up too tightly
So frayed and unsightly
Pulling on your own strings
You're unravelling
How can a cure now be found?
With no outside threat, just a fire in your chest
And you're melting, all over everything

Oh-oh
That's the way that it goes
I'm sorry you'll never be free
If all that you see is the danger the cage will relieve

And oh-no
That's the path that you chose
A true hedonist indeed
So don't lift a finger, your warden provides all you'll need

But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
But never a key
Oh
(But never a key)
But never a key
