Recovering The Satellites

Counting Crows

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 
Ôtil 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 IÔm 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
