The Architect |
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 |
