Philip the Engineer

Philip the engineer sits down
And lays the blueprint on the ground
At this point he’s the only one who can read them
It’s been 5 years since the sky crashed down
The city has moved underground
And he’s the one who built the walls that saved them
But he knows, he knows
They’re slowly caving, caving
I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken but
Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is
And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe
But time makes grownups out of kids
Oh time makes grownups out of kids
Harold Bronson grew up here
Apprentice to the engineer
He’s never seen the sun or stars before
And he’s studying all night and day
He’s losing sleep to learn his trade
But he’s noticed a flaw in Philip’s equation
And he knows, he knows
They’re all in danger, danger
I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken but
Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is
And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe
But time makes grownups out of kids
Oh time makes grownups out of kids
But you’re so fragile already
And we all fear what’s heavy
Cause heavy things must all fall down
So should I tell the truth if you’re not ready?
I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken nut
Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is
And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe
But time makes grownups out of kids
Oh time makes grownups out of kids
You can’t stop the time
So kiss your kids goodbye
You can’t stop the time
So kiss your kids goodbye
