Watch and listen to the closing 'Lain' pop song that we had to cut from the show.

To air "Serial Experiments Lain" in its entirety, TechTV had to cut out the show's anime pop song. But don't worry. We've streamed the song and you can listen to it by clicking on the video icon. Read the lyrics below and sing along.

'A Distant Cry'
Sung by Nakaido "Chabo" Rei'ichi
Lyrics and music by Nakaido "Chabo" Rei'ichi

Although I must be innocent,
now I am punished.
I wasn't the one who sewed those seeds, but nevertheless
I have to pull up the flowers that bloomed from them.

I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking any part in it.
I think my freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't remember selling my soul so cheaply.

Hey hey until I die and say farewell
Hey hey no one can touch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

The act wasn't inexcusable
but the wounds from it aren't curable.
On nights when I almost want to cry, I hold a woman
and fly high away from this petty, corrupt world.

Hey hey until I die and say farewell
Hey hey no one can touch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

Although I must be innocent,
now I am punished.
I think my freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't have the guts to sell my soul so cheaply.
