Singing wishes to their broken stereo

Hear it all play out in distant echoes

So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation

So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation
