Plans For Yourself

from Fallout by Tom Gavin

/

lyrics

Plans for yourself
sit waiting by the phone
and plans for yourself
they twist and slightly moan
when we ween them off the dope
well, the howl and gather round
to be seen inside the rope
and wait in line like friends you paid off

I want you to remember
to remember this sensation
while you fall asleep in chaos
ah, well
I want you to remember
to remember what I can't work out
oh, that doubt
is far better than to never sleep again

plans for yourself
old, broken, hardly known
and plans for yourself
all vague and overblown
well, if this rhyme seems out of focus
try making up your own
scattered lines of luck
and hopelessly refine them of any bone

when they all
when they all seem strange and cold and dated
maybe all
maybe all your friends are overrated
ain't there now
ain't there now far fewer from this treason
maybe all
maybe all those smiles were for this reason

and I want you to remember
to remember this frustration while these autumn streets are quiet
ah, well
I want you to remember
to remember what I can't work out
go back out
it's far better than to never leave again

I'm trying to leave here still
