Gonna get back to basics
Guess I ll start it up again
I m fallin 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
Just 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 you re desperate displays
and she watches as her babies
drift violently away
til they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
We re such crazy babies, little monkey
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 comet tails
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
