School of Design

I found a school of design 
It was in a wealthy town 
A river ran by 
It was empty, holidays, who knows 
But I went in 
I was killing time 

Moving through the halls 
There was fresh paint wet on the walls 
Everything was white and all the clocks were 
Well designed, all ticking in time, and 

I was struck by a feeling 
It’s hard to describe 
The urge to bust through the ceiling 
Raise glass to the sky 

I found the archives 
At the school of design 
Crowded cabinets of books 
So I went in 
I was killing time 
Turning pages frail with dust 
I couldn’t help but smile 
At the ideal shape and make up of things 
Written like words divine 

I was struck by a feeling 
It’s hard to describe 
The urge to bust through the ceiling 
Raise glass to the sky
