The software sunrise glows
A heavenly shade of pearl
The ideal place to feel lonely
Is a virtual dreamworld
There are so many people in the city
But nobody knows anyone
The headset hum makes me dizzy
The game has lost it's fun
Here comes the megaton
Do you miss the way things were before?
The automated electronic war?
We're all searching for
A place where we belong
Somewhere out there in the beyond
I woke up in the new world
Everything has changed
Buildings block the sky
The sunlight has gone strange
Streams of data crystallize
Into memories
Simulation's waiting for me
But I still feel lonely
Turn of the century
Do you miss the way things were before?
The automated electronic war?
We're all searching for
A place where we belong
Somewhere out there in the beyond
We've been reduced to data
And existence in a room
A new reality
Without a world to unplug to
The last weeping willow tree
Is growing in a jar
And I heard there was a time
When you could see the stars
Do you miss the way things were before?
The automated electronic war?
We're all searching for
A place where we belong
Somewhere out there in the beyond
