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 The 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
