Satellites

  • written by Rickie Lee Jones


    We were born forever
    We are twinned in a fugitive mind
    Friends should stay together and
    Light the world with the fugitive kind

    So you keep talking in many languages
    Telling us the way you feel
    Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
    Don't quit, you're walking Satellites

    I just saw you walking
    Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
    Thinks he could not tell you
    You'll never read more than you will tonight

    So you keep talking in many languages
    Telling us the way you feel
    Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
    Don't quit, you're walking Satellites

    Ah, Satellites!
    A room filled with Satellites
    Ah, Satellites!
    Ah, walking Satellite

    We were born forever
    Tunneled into the fugitive night
    Friends should stay together
    Code the world with the fugitive light
    Oh, I just saw you walking
    Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
    Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys
    You'll never read more than you will tonight

    So you keep talking in many languages
    Telling us the way you feel
    Don't stop, I'll know the road you're on
    Don't quit, you're walking Satellites

    Satellites!
    A room filled with Satellites
    Satellite light
    She walks with Satellites
    Walking Satellites
    Satellites
