《I Have A Special Plan For This World》歌词

[00:00:30] When everyone you have ever loved is finally gone

[00:00:37] When everything you have ever wanted is finally done with

[00:00:41] When all of your nightmares are for a time obscured

[00:00:44] As by a shining brainless beacon

[00:00:48] Or a blinding eclipse of the many terrible shapes of this world

[00:00:53] When you are calm and joyful

[00:00:55] And finally entirely alone

[00:00:58] Then in a great new darkness

[00:01:01] You will finally execute your special plan

[00:01:07] One needs to have a plan someone said

[00:01:14] Who was turned away into the shadows

[00:01:24] And who I had believed was sleeping or dead

[00:01:34] Imagine he said all the flesh that is eaten

[00:01:46] The teeth tearing into it

[00:01:48] The tongue tasting its savor

[00:01:51] And the hunger for that taste

[00:01:55] Now take away that flesh he said

[00:01:58] Take away the teeth and the tongue

[00:02:00] The taste and the hunger

[00:02:03] Take away everything as it is

[00:02:06] That was my plan

[00:02:08] My own special plan for this world

[00:02:10] I listened to these words and yet I did not wonder

[00:02:16] If this creature whom I had thought sleeping

[00:02:18] Or dead would ever approach his vision

[00:02:21] Even in his deepest dreams

[00:02:24] Or his most lasting death

[00:02:28] Because I had heard of such plans such visions

[00:02:31] And I knew they did not see far enough

[00:02:35] That what was demanded in a way of a plan

[00:02:39] Needed to go beyond tongue and teeth and hunger and flesh

[00:02:44] Beyond the bones and the very dust of bones

[00:02:47] And the wind that would come to blow the dust away

[00:02:53] And so I began to envision a darkness

[00:02:55] That was long before the dark of night

[00:02:59] And a strangely shining light

[00:03:01] That owed nothing to the light of day

[00:03:14] That day may seem like other days

[00:03:39] Once more we feel the tiny legged trepidations

[00:03:41] Once more we are mangled by a great grinding fear

[00:03:47] But that day will have no others after

[00:03:49] No more worlds like this will follow

[00:03:55] Because I have a plan

[00:03:57] A very special plan

[00:04:00] No more worlds like this

[00:04:03] No more days like that

[00:04:36] There are but four ways to die

[00:04:37] A sardonic spirit might have said to me

[00:04:42] There is dying that occurs relatively suddenly

[00:04:47] There is dying that occurs relatively gradually

[00:04:51] There is dying that occurs relatively painlessly

[00:04:55] There is the death that is full of pain

[00:04:59] Thus by various means they are combined

[00:05:02] The sudden and the gradual

[00:05:03] The painless and the painful

[00:05:08] To yield but four ways to die

[00:05:10] And there are no others

[00:05:16] Even after the voice stopped speaking

[00:05:19] I listened for it to speak again

[00:05:23] After hours and day and years have passed

[00:05:26] I listened for some further words

[00:05:31] Yet all I heard were the faintest echoes reminding me

[00:05:35] There are no others

[00:05:38] There are no others

[00:05:41] Was it then that I began to conceive

[00:05:43] For this world a special plan

[00:06:06] There are no means for escaping this world

[00:06:22] It penetrates even into your sleep

[00:06:25] And is his substance

[00:06:28] You are caught in your own dreaming

[00:06:30] Where there is no space

[00:06:33] And a hell forever where there is no time

[00:06:34] You can't do nothing you aren't told to do

[00:06:40] There is no hope for escape from this dream

[00:06:44] That was never yours

[00:06:47] The very words you speak are only its very words

[00:06:52] And you talk like a traitor

[00:06:55] Under its incessant torture

[00:07:26] There are many who have designs upon this world

[00:07:29] And dream of wild and vast reformations

[00:07:34] I have heard them talking in their sleep

[00:07:37] Of elegant mutations

[00:07:39] And cunning annihilations

[00:07:43] I have heard them whispering in the corners of crooked houses

[00:07:47] And in the alleys and narrow back

[00:07:49] Streets of this crooked creaking universe

[00:07:53] Which they with their new designs were made straight and sound

[00:08:01] But each of these new and ill conceived designs

[00:08:04] Is deranged in its heart

[00:08:08] For they see this world as if it were alone and original

[00:08:13] And not as only one of count with others

[00:08:16] Whose nightmares all precede

[00:08:18] Like a hideous garden grown from a single seed

[00:08:26] I have heard these dreamers talking in their sleep

[00:08:30] And I stand waiting for them

[00:08:32] As at the top of a darkened flight of stairs

[00:08:37] They know nothing of me

[00:08:39] And none of the secrets of my special plan

[00:08:44] While I know every crooked creaking step of theirs

[00:09:09] It was the voice of someone who was waiting in the shadows

[00:09:25] Who was looking at the moon and waiting for me to turn the corner

[00:09:30] And enter a narrow street

[00:09:33] And stand with him in the dull glaze of moonlight

[00:09:38] Then he said to me

[00:09:40] He whispered

[00:09:41] That my plan was misconceived

[00:09:44] That my special plan for this world was a terrible mistake

[00:09:49] Because he said there is nothing to do

[00:09:54] And there is no where to go

[00:09:56] There is nothing to be and there is no one to know

[00:10:02] Your plan is a mistake he repeated

[00:10:06] This world is a mistake I replied

[00:10:23] The children always followed him

[00:10:41] When they saw him hopping by

[00:10:45] A funny walk

[00:10:47] A funny man

[00:10:48] A funny funny funny man

[00:10:51] He made them laugh sometimes

[00:10:56] He made them laugh oh yes he did

[00:10:57] He did he did he did he did

[00:11:01] Oh how he made them roll

[00:11:05] One day he took them to a place

[00:11:07] He knew a special place

[00:11:11] And told them things about this world

[00:11:13] This funny funny funny world

[00:11:17] Which made them laugh sometimes

[00:11:21] He made them laugh oh yes he did

[00:11:25] He did he did he did he did

[00:11:27] Oh how he made them roll

[00:11:32] Then the funny man who made them laugh

[00:11:34] Sometimes he did

[00:11:37] Revealed to them his special plan

[00:11:40] His very special funny plan

[00:11:43] Knowing they would understand

[00:11:45] And maybe laugh sometimes

[00:11:46] He made them laugh

[00:11:50] Oh yes he did

[00:11:52] He did he did he did he did

[00:11:55] Their eyes grew wide beneath there lids

[00:11:59] And how he made them roll

[00:12:05] I first learned the facts from a lunatic

[00:12:34] In a dark and quiet room that smelled of stale time and space

[00:12:40] There are no people

[00:12:42] Nothing at all like that

[00:12:45] The human phenomenon is but the sum of densely coiled layers of illusion

[00:12:52] Each of which winds itself upon the supreme insanity

[00:12:56] But there are persons of any kind

[00:12:59] When all that can be is mindless mirrors

[00:13:03] Laughing and screaming as they parade about

[00:13:07] In an endless dream

[00:13:11] But when I asked the lunatic what it was

[00:13:13] It swore itself within these mirrors

[00:13:16] As they marched endlessly in stale time and space

[00:13:21] He only looked and smiled

[00:13:26] Then he laughed and screamed

[00:13:28] And in his black and empty eyes

[00:13:31] I saw for a moment as in a mirror

[00:13:35] A form the shade of divinity

[00:13:38] In flight from its stale infinity

[00:13:41] Of time and space and the worst of all

[00:13:43] Of this world dreams

[00:13:47] My special plan for the laughter

[00:14:06] And the screams

[00:14:16] We went to see some little show

[00:14:23] That was staged in an old shed

[00:14:25] Past the edge of town

[00:14:28] And in its beginnings all seemed well

[00:14:31] The miniature curtain stage glowed in the darkness

[00:14:35] While those dolls bounced along on their strings before our eyes

[00:14:41] And in its beginnings all seemed well

[00:14:46] But then there came a suttle turning point which some have noticed

[00:14:51] And I was one

[00:14:53] Who quietly left the show

[00:14:55] No I did not

[00:14:56] Because I could see where things were going

[00:15:00] As the antics of those dolls grew strange

[00:15:03] And the fragile strings grew taut

[00:15:06] With their tiny pullings tiny limbs

[00:15:09] The others around me became appalled

[00:15:11] And turned away and abandoned the show

[00:15:14] That was staged in an old shed

[00:15:16] Past the edge of town

[00:15:19] But I wanted to witness what could never be

[00:15:21] I wanted to see what could not be seen

[00:15:24] The moment of consummate disaster

[00:15:28] When puppets turn to face the puppet master

[00:15:57] It was twilight and I stood in a grayish haze of the vast empty building

[00:16:08] When the silence was enriched by a reverberant voice

[00:16:13] All the things of this world it said

[00:16:17] Are of but one essence

[00:16:19] For which there are no words

[00:16:23] This is the greater part which has no beginning or end

[00:16:27] And the one essence of this world for which there can be no words

[00:16:33] Is that all the things of this world

[00:16:36] This is the lesser part which had a beginning and shall have an end

[00:16:41] And for which words were conceived solely to speak of

[00:16:45] The tiny broken beings of this world it said

[00:16:49] The beginnings and endings of this world it said

[00:16:52] For which words were conceived solely to speak of

[00:16:58] Now remove these words and what remains it asks me

[00:17:02] As I stood in the twilight of that vast empty building

[00:17:06] But I did not answer

[00:17:09] The question echoed over and over

[00:17:12] But I remained silent until the echoes died

[00:17:16] And as twilight passed into the evening I felt my

[00:17:19] Special plan for which there are no words

[00:17:23] Moving towards a greater darkness

[00:17:38] There are some who have no voices

[00:17:58] Or none that will ever speak

[00:18:01] Because of the things they know about this world

[00:18:04] And the things they feel about this world

[00:18:06] Because the thoughts that fill a brain

[00:18:09] That is a damaged brain

[00:18:10] Because the pain that fills a body

[00:18:12] That is a damaged body

[00:18:14] Exists in other worlds

[00:18:16] Countless other worlds

[00:18:19] Each of which stands alone in an infinite empty blackness

[00:18:22] For which no words are being conceived

[00:18:25] And where no voices are able to speak

[00:18:28] When a brain is filled only with damaged thoughts

[00:18:31] When a damaged body is filled only with pain

[00:18:35] And stands alone in a world surrounded by infinite empty blackness

[00:18:40] And exists in a world for which there is no special plan

[00:19:13] When everyone you have ever loved is finally gone

[00:19:20] When everything you have ever wanted is finally done with

[00:19:27] When all of your nightmares are for a time obscured

[00:19:33] As by a shining brainless beacon

[00:19:40] Or a blinding eclipse of the many terrible shapes of this world

[00:19:49] When you are calm and joyful

[00:19:59] And finally entirely alone

[00:20:16] Then in a great new darkness

[00:21:07] You will finally execute your special plan
