Here, in my place in time And here on 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 And dreamed of dying stars And memories fading I can almost remember singing La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la We watched the end of a century Compressed on a tiny screen The dead star collapsing and we could see Something was ending While you threw pretending We saw the signs and the circles La, la, la, la, la, la, la You could never predict it That it could see through you Casper of deep blue, 1996 Your mind's playing tricks now So, so, so, take a bow We're living in the shadows La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la Hey, hey, hey We'll be safe for a day, for a while No one knows something's wrong Hey, hey, hey We'll be safe for a day, for a while No one knows something's wrong Hey, hey, hey 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 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
