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

til 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 Im 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
