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 

And I'll sleep 
Sleep in your nova heart 
As things fall apart 
And I'll hide 
In your nova heart 
At ease with the thought 
That this nova won't burn out 

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 

And I'll sleep 
Sleep in your nova heart 
As things come apart 
And I'll hide 
In your nova heart 
At ease with the thought 
That this nova won't burn out 

And I'll hide 
In your nova heart 
And I'll hide 
In your nova heart 
At ease with the thought 
That this nova won't burn out
