The Architect

(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
