An instrumental version of this song was used as the opening theme for Cartoon Network’s “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” spinoff, “Cartoon Planet”, which ran from 1995 to 1998.
[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
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 2]
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
No One Knows My Plan was written by John Flansburgh & John Linnell.
