The Plan - Remastered

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.
