No One Knows My Plan Lyrics

They Might Be Giants
John Henry
No One Knows My Plan
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 a cave
In the allegory of the people in the cave
By the Greek guy

Noe one understands
No one knows my plan
Why the dancing, shouting
[ They Might Be Giants Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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
