The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were my first experiment,
Too bad I'm prone to failure.
How can I be a citizen,
When all I see are tetrahedrons.
I will never ever ever get it
Never ever.
That won't bring back my only daughter.
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture.
What are ya
Offering
Are ya offering
Is it free? (x2)
In the house of 1982 built like a ship
Your legs are like roots.
What are ya
Offering
Are ya offering
Is it free?
I'll tie your eyes together,
Even if you sleep forever.
If you squeeze my hand again, I'll gladly have a coronary.
I will never ever ever get it
Never ever.
That won't bring back my only daughter.
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture.
What are ya
Offering
Are ya offering
Is it free? (x2)
In the house of 1982 built like a ship
Your legs are like roots.
What are ya
Offering
Are ya offering
Is it free?
When I lost you...
I didn't know what I would do.
But then I conceived of what I could be.
A family man, inventor and an architect
The primary subject of this inquiry.
I will never ever ever get it
Never ever.
That wont bring back my only daughter.
I don't mind if I die unidentified
As long as I'm buried in architecture.
