Recovering the Satellites

Gonna get back to basics

Guess I'll start it up again

I'm falling from the ceiling

You're falling from the sky now and then

Maybe you were shot down in pieces

Maybe I slipped in between

But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see

yes you and me

So why'd you come home to this sleepless town

It's a lifetime commitment

recovering the satellites

All anybody really wants to know is...

When you gonna come down

Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays

and she watches as her babies drift violently away

'til they see themselves in telescopes

Well listen do you see yourself in me?

We're such crazy babies, little monkey

God we're so fucked up, you and me

So why'd you come home to this faithless town

where we make a lifetime commitment

to recovering the satellites

And all anybody really wants to know is...

when are you gonna come down

She sees shooting stars and comets tail

She's got heaven in her eyes

She says I don't need to be an angel

but I'm nothing if I'm not this high

But we only stay in orbit

for a moment of time

And then you're everybody's satellite

I wish that you were mine

I wish that you were mine

So why'd you come home to this angels town

It's a lifetime decision

recovering the satellites

everybody really knows for sure...

that you're gonna come down

that you're gonna come down
