The Suburbs

Arcade Fire The Suburbs Album

12.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 the night sky
Tomorrow means nothing

I was only a child then
Feeling barely alive when I heard a song from a speaker of a
passing car
Praying to a dying star, the memories fading
I can almost remember singing

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 have never predicted that it could see through you
Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996
Your mind's playing tricks now
Show's over so take a bow
And leave it in the shadows
