Verse 1;
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
Pre Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
Chorus:
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
Verse:
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
Chorus:
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
