  • Here in my place and time
    And here in my own skin I can finally begin
    Let the century pass me by, standing under the night sky
    Tomorrow means nothing

    I was only a child then
    Feeling barely alive when
    I heard a song from a speaker of a passing car
    Praying to a dying star, the memories fading
    I can almost remember singing( La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
    (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

    We watched the end of the century
    Compressed on a tiny screen
    A dead star collapsing and we could see
    Something was ending
    Are you through pretending?
    We saw the signs in the suburbs

    You could have never predicted that it could see through you
    Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996
    Your mind's playing tricks now
    Show's over so take a bow
    And leave it in the shadows (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
    (Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

    Hey
    Put the cellphone down for a while
    In the night there is something wild
    Can you hear it breathing?
    And hey
    Put the laptop down for a while
    In the night there is something wild
    I feel it, it's leaving me

    (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
    (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
    (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
    (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Writer/s: Jeremy Gara, Regine Chassagne, Richard R Parry, Tim Kingsbury, William Butler, Win Butler
