Philip the Engineer Songtext
von JR JR

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 five 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
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 earn 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
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
Oh
And we all feel 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 but
Somebody's gotta tell it like it is
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
