[Intro: Richard Buckminster Fuller]

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
