(Ah, nevermind that outer space stuff, let's get down to earth!) |
|
What is the architect doing? |
|
He is by the riverside |
|
What is he thinking out there? |
|
He is committing egocide |
|
Now isn't that a strange thing? |
|
Well, to him it feels just |
|
Oh we guess a person's gotta do |
|
What a person feels he must |
|
He said: |
|
\"I won't throw myself from the pier |
|
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year |
|
And when the year is over I'll reappear |
|
And have a solution\" |
|
I've reason to believe that what I find |
|
Is gonna change the face of humankind |
|
And all these years before, well I was blind |
|
That's my conclusion |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
Now the man has understood |
|
That outerspace is overrated |
|
About all the problems on this Earth we should |
|
Worry now to solve them later |
|
And so he's brooding and alluding on a perfect design |
|
He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime |
|
He flashes out by the water, a view so divine |
|
He's the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime |
|
He said: |
|
\"I won't throw myself from the pier |
|
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year |
|
And when the year is over I'll reappear |
|
And have a solution\" |
|
I've reason to believe that what I find |
|
Is gonna change the face of humankind |
|
And all these years before, well I was blind |
|
That's my conclusion |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
(That's it, we're going to make it) |
|
(Don't let up) |
|
(Don't let up or we won't make it) |
|
(Don't let up) |
|
(Don't let up or we won't make it) |
|
And so he drew himself a pentagon |
|
Thinking it through a geodesic dome |
|
From the coast of Tahiti to the hills of Rome |
|
Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home |
|
He said: |
|
\"I won't throw myself from the pier |
|
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year |
|
And when the year is over I'll reappear |
|
And have a solution\" |
|
Now if these aspirations bother you |
|
Well you are just you, you don't have a clue |
|
I'm sticking to the plan, I will see it through |
|
Let there be no confusion |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
|
(I feel its touch and go) |
|
Cause I'm the architect |
