No One Knows My Plan Lyrics by They Might Be Giants

No One Knows My Plan Lyrics

    In my prison cell i think these words
    I was careless
    I can see that now
    I must be silent
    Must contain my secret smile
    I want to tell you
    You my mirror
    You my iron bars

    When i made a shadow on my window shade
    They called the police and testified
    But they're like the people chained up in the cave
    In the allegory of the people in the cave by the greek guy

    No one understands
    No one knows my plan
    Why the dancing, shouting
    Why the shrieks of pain
    The lovely music
    Why the smell of burning autumn leaves

    No one understands
    No one knows my plan
    Why the dancing, shouting
    Why the shrieks of pain
    The lovely music
    Why the smell of burning autumn leaves

    In my prison cell i bide my time
    Always thinking
    Always busy cooking up an angle
    Working on the tiny blueprint of the angle
    Sketching out the burning autumn leaves

    No one understands
    No one knows my plan
    I must be silent, must contain my secret smile
    I want to tell you
    You my mirror
    You my iron bars

    No one understands
    No one knows my plan
