Lyrics:
up the sky
Or maybe it was not a star at all
I was standing by the hudson river's edge at night
Looking out across the Jersey shore
At a neon
the freedom they'd save
On the TV broadcast they said it won't last
All over by Sunday consigned to the past
The clean-up starts Monday despite the bomb
love
You can stand protected safe from harm
In your life don't ever let me fall
'Cause sometimes I think I'm falling like a burning satellite
love
You can stand protected safe from harm
In your life don't ever let me fall
Cos sometimes I think I'm falling like a burning satellite
You
I used to think my life was so empty
I used to think life was passin' me by
Well, I was just about ready
To curl up and die
But then one day I
Words and Music by Arlo Guthrie
I'd like to tell you a story
For just a minute or two
And if you don't want to hear it
Just be quiet if some others
turn-of-the-century ways
How did we strike it rich?
Kissing up to the powerful
How did we make our pitch?
Satellites by the towerful
Why do you young people have
It's colder outside
But I'm worn tonight
Love by satellite
I'll take my time
Cause I've got more
Lay with me
On the floor
Long lost ghosts, gather in
the river
hey satellite man your time has come
your words received by everyone
and should you fall, well that's OK
you love the ones that you betray
and the flying fish
But he's been enchanted by the pictures
From the satellite dish
So his mama packs his bags, knots his red neck tie
Sends him north to her
wants to be by my side
It's not enough she says that she's satisfied
Because she can't feel me enough
We're satellites spinning listing weightless
The satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we know
In silence we still talk
By the light of the stereo we waltz
And will you rain down
The satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we know
In silence we still talk
By the light of the stereo we waltz
And will you rain down
know just by existing
that I'd never be alone
you hijacked all the frequencies
then cut the sound on the microphone
my solo satellite you still orbit

Shine on, shine the lights on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world
Shine on, shine the lights on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world
can see a body, I can feel a difference
A thing called time, yeah, I track it with the digits
Satellite business, I was in a space
Communication with
Shine on, shine the lights on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world
Sleepin' silent in night, you know I got the .40 by me (buck 'em)
Keep her, keep her by my sides, so thick up on me (yeah)
Fast nights get explicit,
the tide was rollin' in
I was drownin' in a sea of romance
Then she popped the question in the back seat of my car
"If I let you love me would you let me
Whatever helps you through' the night
My paws keep going to turn on the satellite
Always look to the positive
I don't feel the pain when I'm
satellites
Sleepy benevolent eyes
Heavily drunk on distant love
They never once misplaced a call
I hope they never grow old
I know it may take some time
