The Architect
Young man, come to me and ask me for a smoke
Straight off of Bourbon Street alley cat with a dirty coat
He said it's hard out here just being me
When the people light the way that I want them to be
When I get the chance to build just what I see
Make me believe this life's for me and I will be free
That night, the architect can't sleep
He's laying out his plans
For the building with a new foundation
Built together by a million hands
Beyond the wires, just meant to fly
Getting out there beyond the fences into the sky
You know I'll find the place for my design
A new space for me and my piece of mind, yeah
I wanna build a home by the ocean
Underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open
So I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean
Buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah
I wanna build a home by the ocean
Underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open
So I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean
Buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing
I'm gonna build a home by the ocean
Gonna leave the door wide open
So I can sing
Build a home by the ocean
So I can sing
Leave the door wide open
So I can see everything
