Deep Blue

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

I was only a child then
Feeling barely alive when
I heard a song from the speaker of a passing car
Been praying to a dying star
The memory's fading
I can almost remember singing la, la la, la la, la la
La, la la, la la, la la
Oooh

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

You could never predict it
That it could see through you
Kasparov, Deep Blue, nineteen-ninety six
Your mind's playing tricks now
The show is over so take a bow
We're living in the shadows la, la la, la la, la la
La, la la, la la, la la

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

La, la la, la la la la
La, la la, la la la la
Oooh
