Decided to sneak off away
From your stomach and try your pulse
Encaptured what seemed all unknowing
And candid but they suspected it was false

 

She's playful, the boring would warn you
Be careful of her brigade
In order to tame this relentless marauder
Move away from the parade
And she was walking on the tables in the glasshouse
And verily bedraggled in the wind
Subtle in her method of seduction
Twenty little tragedies begin

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

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 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

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
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

Back to the streets where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can .. you know
Well, now we're feeling so good

Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love .. you could .. you can

Into a place, where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
‘Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place, hey
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began
‘Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

 

Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
But they would just as soon forget
and disguise
At the summer camp where you volunteered
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
If that apparition had just appeared
Took you up and away from this place and sheer humiliation
Of your teenage station
Nobody cares no one remembers and nobody cares

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive he's alive/a lie
Ah, you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

If you call out safe then I'll stop right away
If the premise buckles and the ropes starts to shake
For the details mark
With the stories the same
You don't have to explain
You don't have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage station

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive he's alive
Ah, you cried and you cried and you cried
And you realized your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets

Everybody here comes from somewhere
If they would just as soon forget,
And disguise

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive he's alive
Yeah, you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried
(Oh you cried and you cried)
(Oh you cried and you cried)

Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird
Don't be afraid I'll hold you clear/near
From the séance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage's celebration
Of your teenage station

Zen experience sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
Inexperience sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
wow
