I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
Let there be no confusion"
I’m sticking to the plan I will see it through
What is he thinking out there?
'Cause I’m the architect
He said, "I won’t throw myself from the pier
That’s my conclusion"
Well we guess a person’s gotta do
And all these years before well I was blind
Well you are just you, you don’t have a clue
"Now if these aspirations bother you
"'Cause I’m the architect
Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home
He is committing egocide
"I’ve reason to believe that what I find
And when the year is over I’ll reappear
And all these years before well I was blind
From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome
Worry now to solve them later
He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime
And have a solution"
'Cause I’m the architect
He said, "I won’t throw myself from the pier
Now the man has understood
"'Cause I’m the architect
And have a solution"
And so he drew himself a pentagon
Is gonna change the face of human kind
And have a solution"
That outer space is overrated and too
Well to him it feels just
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And so he’s brooding and alluding on a perfect design
He said, "I won’t throw myself from the pier
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
He’s the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime
'Cause I’m the architect"
Now isn’t that a strange thing?
"I’ve reason to believe that what I find
Thinking it through a geodesic dome
About all the problems on this earth we should
Is gonna change the face of human kind
'Cause I’m the architect"
He flushes out by the water, a view so divine
That’s my conclusion"
What a person feels he must
'Cause I’m the architect
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
"'Cause I’m the architect
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
