The Plan Songtext / Lyric

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.

(chorus)

we would secretly smile inside our surgical masks
but we were serious too - we accomplished our task.
the scedule was followed, a daughter was born
and so the mother departed - I was left with her form.

(chorus)

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.

(chorus)
