lyrics

Back a long long time ago
Several billion years or so there was a god
He knew all there was to know
He made the universe just so but it was flawed
Maybe he felt a little rushed
Maybe a week was not enough to get it right
Maybe the limits of the limitless
Are cleared if you just give it one more night

It’s such a shame
When the architect lets the building fall to flame
No one can edit so no one takes credit
And no one takes the blame

Back an hour or two ago
Somewhere on an empty road there was a man
Who had a drink and had a smoke
Who had the inside of a joke, who had a plan
With his stable full of friends
Like better means to bitter ends, he headed home
With so much at his fingertips
The good and bad relationships, he was alone

It’s such a shame
When the architect lets the building fall to flame
No one can edit so no one takes credit
And no one takes the blame
