He spend's all his day's alone in a room Studying plans of thing's he might do From chimney's to rooftops to floor's down below He never quite know's where his plan's may go He studies and read's and does arithmetic Finding a floor plan yes one that will stick And in all his studies he never will find a floor plan of reason A floor plan of life He simply forgets his wife and his kid's she cheated last summer He neglected a bit His children they cures they're mighty ill raised But he does not care till his floor plan's are laid From morning till night he'll sit all alone Drawing and writing those plan's of his own And when he has finished He will look and will say None of this happened in my plan's no not this way But now don't you see that time is sure cruel It will make all the wisest into a fool and just like the architect you may make plan's But they don't always work out Not here in this land
