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 was, I was at a loss What can I do now? 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 I remember Back again Welcome home 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 This is where it counts 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 --- The Plan - Richard Hell and Richard Hell & the Voidoids
