Struggling with Satellite? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station [Chorus] Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Satellite, headlines read Someone's secrets you've seen Eyes and ears have been Satellite dish in my yard Tell me more, tell me more Who's the king of your satellite castle? [Chorus] Rest high above the clouds no restrictions Television we bounce 'round the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling, I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes. Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station [Chorus] Rest high above the clouds no restrictions Television you bounce from the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling I laugh about this world in my satellite eyes.
