The Grid Lyrics
Daft Punk
Lyrics
The Grid.
A digital frontier.
I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer.
What do they look like? Ships? Motorcycles?
Were the circuits like freeways?
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.
And then, one day...
I got in.
