The Plan

I withdrew from the street and all humanlike zones.

I'd had it, I'd had it - I was mush to the bones.

I covered the windows, I was taking no calls

Then I thought for a month inside the alien walls.

Now I know oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know, oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know. Oh

They don't tell you so

but I can recall

it all.

I called up a girl I'd known for so many years.

I'd seen her in shock, I'd seen the last of her tears.

I admired her style from her toes to her brain -

She accepted my plan and so she caught the next train.

Now I know oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know, oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know. Oh

They don't tell you so

but I can recall

it all.

We would secretly smile inside our surgical masks

But we were serious too - we accomplished our ask.

The schedule was followed, a daughter was born.

And so the mother departed - I was left with her form.

Now I know oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know, oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know. Oh

They don't tell you so

but I can recall

it all.

Her education's begun - I'm intent on success.

Her breathtaking beauty it brings out my best.

I once knew true love - she won't know another.

Life is renewed, my little girl is my lover.

Now I know oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know, oh

They don't tell you so.

Now I know. Oh

They don't tell you so

but I can recall it all.
