[Verse 1]

Architects of the world

I walk your streets and live in your towns

Temporarily, architects of the world

You've served us well, until now

But soon we'll be, we'll be on our own

[Chorus]

And I'll sleep, sleep in your nova heart

As things come apart

I'll hide, hide in your nova heart

At ease with the thought

That this nova won't burn out, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Gentlemen of the world

I read your books and look at your art

Hesitantly, gentlemen of the world

You want to educate our young

But soon they'll be, they'll be on their own

[Chorus]

And I'll sleep, sleep in your nova heart

At ease with the thought

That this nova won't burn out, oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

And I'll sleep, sleep in your nova heart

As things come apart

I'll hide, hide in your nova heart

At ease with my thoughts

And I'll sleep, sleep in your nova heart

As things come apart

And I'll rest, rest in your nova heart

At ease with the thought

That this nova won't burn out, oh-oh, oh-oh
