Satellite
Catherine Wheel
Feeling only left him bleeding
for a whole number of reasons
he never discovered
but soon he would be riding his wave
Coast to coast
all his life was rosy and pink
fluffy in the middle a constant grin
anyone would think so
But see that body shaking
see that body racing
Feel that body baking from inside
The boy’s a satellite
He won’t be home tonight
And we crown ourselves again
there’s been no change since you and I were young
When we burned ourselves again
the spaceship days when you and I were young
when you and I were young, young
Coast to coast
the scene was for Gene
All his life was mostly blue
and far more dangerous than he ever knew
but I didn’t see the need to say so
See that body shaking
see that body racing
same old painful aching bones inside
The boy’s a satellite
He won’t be home tonight
And we crown ourselves again
there’s been no change since you and I were young
When we burned ourselves again
the spaceship days when you and I were young
when you and I were young
when you and I were young
He says he won’t bore us anymore
it’s the final straw a reason to rejoice
The boy’s a satellite
He won’t be home tonight, tonight
And we crown ourselves again
there’s been no change since you and I were young
When we burned ourselves again
in spaceship days when you and I were young
When you and I were young, young
