Testo di The Architect

What is the architect doing? (I think 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) Well, 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 that 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 human kind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion Cause I'm the architect (Well, baby, it's touch and go) Now the man has understood That outer space 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 that 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 human kind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion Cause I'm the architect (Well, baby, it's touch and go) (Don't get up, don't get up I said) (Don't get up, don't get up I said) 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 that 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 human kind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion Cause I'm the architect 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
