(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 it's touch and go)   Cause I'm the architect   (I feel it's 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 it's touch and go)   Cause I'm the architect   (I feel it's touch and go)   Cause I'm the architect   (I feel it's 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 it's touch and go)   Cause I'm the architect   (I feel it's touch and go)   Cause I'm the architect
