Spiral Architect Lyrics
Sorcerers of madness selling me their time
Child of God sitting in the sun, giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction on a black-snow sky
Sadness kills the superman, even fathers cry
[Chorus]
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see
My world and know that it is good
You know that I should
[Verse 2]
Superstitious century, didn’t time go slow
Separating sanity, watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker, spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans in disguise
[Chorus]
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should
[Instrumental Break]
Watching eyes of celluloid tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay, give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love is showing me the way
Spiral city architect, I build, you pay
[Chorus]
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should

I said [to Butler], ‘We need the lyrics to this song, do you have them?’ He says, ‘Give me an hour.’ So I called him in an hour and he said, ‘Sorcerers of madness, selling me their time/Child of God, sitting in the sun, giving peace of mind/Fictional seduction on a black snow sky, sadness kills the superman, even fathers cry’. I said, ‘Are you reading these out of a fucking book?’ I was mind-boggled!
