Deep Blue

Didn't manage to get a decent tennis Blip today, but saw this one and realised I haven't had a musical interlude in aaaaages!

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

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 the 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,
Show is over so take a bow,
We're living in the shadows la, la la, la la la la
Oh 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
