Gm                     Fsus4 F
Here, are my place and time
               A#        D#     D7        Gm
And here in my own skin, I can finally begin
                        Fsus4 F
Let the century pass me by
               A#           D#            D7   Gm
Standing under night sky, tomorrow means nothing

I
Was only a child then
Feeling barely alive when
I heard the 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-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 never predict it
That it could see through you
Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996
Your mind's playing tricks now
Show is over so take a bow
We're living in the shadows of the
La la-la la-la la-la
Oh, la la-la la-la la-la, ooo

Gm                      F
Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
                       A#
In the night there is something wild
    D#             D7
Can you hear it breathing?
     Gm                  F
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
                       A#
In the night there is something wild
   D#             D7       Gm
I feel it, it's leaving me
