Ah, nevermind that space stuff, let's get down to earth!
[Verse 1: Mauro Pawlowski & Tom Barman]
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
Well, we guess a person's gotta do
What a person feels he must
[Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller]
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 think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
[Verse 2: Mauro Pawlowski & Tom Barman]
Now the man has understood
That outer space is overrated and too
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 flushes out by the water, a view so divine
He's the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime
[Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller]
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 think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
[Bridge: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller]
I think it's touch and go, and I think 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
[Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller]
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 think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it's touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
Ah, nevermind that space stuff, let's get down to earth!
