There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildingswould throw their cape around each corner of the grassy fields |
|
And one by one each huge shade would color 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 our 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 travel 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 into machines in our minds |
