Richard Hell — The Plan lyrics

Lyrics

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.
