Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) is an American multinational corporation that focuses on 3D design software for use in the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media and entertainment industries. The company was founded in 1982 by John Walker, a coauthor of the first versions of the company's flagship CAD software product AutoCAD, and 12 others. Autodesk software has been used in the design of everything from the New York Freedom Tower to Tesla electric cars. Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, California and features a gallery of its customers' work in its San Francisco building. In March 2008 Autodesk was named number 25 on Fast Company's list of "The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies." The company is often seen as a bellwether for the broader economy because its software is used in many major global construction projects and the manufacturing of new products.
Autodesk became best known for AutoCAD but now develops a broad range of software for design, engineering, and entertainment as well as a line of software for consumers, including Sketchbook, Homestyler, and Pixlr. The company makes educational versions of its software available free to qualified students and faculty through the Autodesk Education Community. Autodesk's digital prototyping software, including Autodesk Inventor and the Autodesk Product Design Suite, are used in the manufacturing industry to visualize, simulate, and analyze real-world performance using a digital model during the design process. The company's Revit line of software for Building Information Modeling is designed to let users explore the planning, construction, and management of a building virtually before it's built.
Your heart that I give to me
I don't want the world to see
You told me the truth if I followed you
All the things I want would all come true
These are the laws that you've made
I don't want to change your ways
These are the laws that you've made
I won't ever doubt the things that you say
You listened to me when I said
By the rules you've been made I've been led
But every day that goes by
Your loving touches me deep inside
These are the laws that you've made
I don't want to change your ways
These are the laws that you've made
There you are shining in leather and varnish
You think you're a winner in the private stock
Your jewellery framed on white table cloth
Your boots match your hair your eyes match your socks
I bet you tell stories of wine loosened ladies
And friends of a friend that you used to know
Of course there've been losers but you're nothing shady
And under your polish the engines don't go
You drive in the main road
Not knowing you've gone too far
You carry no backload
And I bet you've got a Sports Car
Defending your lifestyle does nothing to sway me
Your arrogance bores me I know it's not true
So don't waste your time on me I'm just not there
And then I won't waste my time on you.
You drive in the main road
Not knowing you've gone too far
You carry no backload
And I bet you've got a Sports Car
Bet you tell stories of wine loosened ladies
And friends of a friend that you used to know
Of course there've been losers but you're nothing shady
And under your polish the engines don't go
You drive in the main road
Not knowing you've gone too far
You carry no backload
And I bet you've got a Sports Car
I bet you've got a Sports Car
I hear the words
I see the face
You've got the car
But lost the race
Is this a game you're playin'
I don't understand what's goin' on
I can't see through your frown
First you're up
Then you're down
You're keepin' me from someone
I want to know
But I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...
It's the same old situation
Every word so finely placed
Runnin' around
My concentration
Is the feelin' that I've just got to
Break out and say
Oh I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...
Is this a game you're playin'
Playin' with my heart
(Need you tonight)
Ooh stop playin' with my heart
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me till dawn...
Yes I'll show you a sunset
When will I see you again
Is there a chance that
I might find you on my way back down the road
When will I see you again
I'm looking high and low
But no one seems to know
Which way you were heading
When you took my heart away
Where were you going
When you took my heart away
Sometimes if I look too hard
I find your answers hiding
But I feel the truth is in your eyes
Patterns on the window pane
Show me the way you're going clearer than your words
Which way you were heading
When you took my heart away
Where were you going
When you took my heart away
Oh the choices you made
I try hard but I can't understand it
and the windows are covered in rain
and the doorway is just as I found it
Oh the choices you made
Yesterday I had thoughts of conclusion
and tomorrow I may feel just the same
While you're padding your world with illusion
Captured in the hour glass
My time is slowly passing
Till I feel you touch me I will sleep
Then I open up again
And try to hold you softly as you sell your dreams
Which way you were heading
When you took my heart away
Where were you going
When you took my heart away
Oh the choices you made
I try hard but I can't understand it
and the windows are covered in rain
and the doorway is just as I found it
Oh the choices you made
Yesterday I had thoughts of conclusion
and tomorrow I may feel just the same
While you're padding your world with illusion
When will I see you again
I know you're at the end of the line I'm on
And know I can afford the fare
But the distance is much further than eight stops on a local
And much harder than even I'm aware
But if by some chance we meet on some street
Will we walk by like we never knew?
Trying to reason out this displacement
But it's been beating me raw
And I know that given three months in the city
Is what my future's for
And if walk by each other on some avenue
Will we walk by like we never knew what love could do?
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
People pass through my life and I forget them
And I don't know what that means
But you never passed through my life, you stayed there
Like some unforgotten dream
And if we pass by each other on life's avenue
Will we walk by like we never knew what love could do?
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
I am your flyer
You are the phoenix
I am the fire
You are the plane and
Whispers like velvety soft falling snow
From pools that engulf me are letting me know
That star storms will break round the earth at my feet
And angels will dance through the heavens' wide streets
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Deeper and deeper they crawl down inside of me
In fingers of trees and valleys of gold
I watch as you outshine the charlatan fold
Catch me, staring, frozen to life
You've come and delivered and taken outside
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Deeper and deeper they crawl down inside
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Deeper and deeper they crawl down inside of me
Your face is magic, am I here dreaming?
Capture me, torture me, I am here waiting
Send out your soldiers, armies of wonder
Capture me, torture me, I am here waiting for love
Wandering minstrels are fogging my brain
And weird intellectuals are doing the same
Clouding and threatening I watch as they come
Like hordes of Black Angels dripping with blood
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Deeper and deeper they crawl down inside
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Deeper and deeper they crawl down inside of me
Your face is magic, am I here dreaming?
Capture me, torture me, I am here waiting
Send out your soldiers, armies of wonder
Capture me, torture me, I am here waiting for love
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Higher and higher and higher and higher (waiting for love)
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Higher and higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher the feelings they fly
Higher and higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher the feelings they fly (waiting for love)
When I go down take the trail to southern smiles
All the way I hear them call
Well there'll be nightrunners and there'll be sunhunters
There where the day burns into your very sight
Don't say no
You just might
'Cos there'll be nightrunners and there'll be sunhunters
Well I could be somewhere else
(I'd rather stay here)
Oh I should be somewhere else
There's something there holds my heart
It's caught in the backstreets it's calling for more
Well there'll be nightrunners and there'll be sunhunters
So here I go on the way to southern smiles
Racing light till darkness falls
To find nightrunners and there'll be sunhunters
Well I could be somewhere else
(I'd rather stay there)
Oh I should be somewhere else
There's something there holds my heart
It's caught in the backstreets it's calling for more
Alone on the seas, where wayward winds blew us up on Katiera Island
Katiera Island, you have so much to learn
Now there's no need to say a lot.
Morning has found us on Katiera Island
You have so much to learn
Here in the dark
Racing round looking out on waves in the moonlight waiting for daylight
You have so much to see
So many new things to realise
Morning has found us on Katiera Island
You have so much to see
Every day we're finding the same situations
Holding on to something we call fascination
Katiera Island
Katiera Island
Katiera Island
Katiera Island
Left on the shores wondering if we'll ever get to the mainland
Way off of these sands
We have so far to go
Choosing the way is the telling
Born of this farmhouse on Katiera Island
We have so far to go
We have so far to go
Which way? (Which way?)
