There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings Would throw their cape around each corner of the grassy fields And one by one each huge shade would colour the green with black Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
Everybody let us gaze upon the world we've created Let us rest out eyes upon the great machine as we wave goodbye Feel the evening breeze caress us while the cities are dying As we watch it fall into a modern state, a modern time
Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life A zillion noises whimper as they travelled through the sky And one by one each new sound has faded away with time Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
Everybody let us say goodbye to all our notions 'cause it's not enough to say that we're humane when we're left behind It's too late to think that we can worship human emotions 'Cause we've already evolved in our minds
