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

Ah... ah.... ah.... ah....
