Elvis Costello - Satellite Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • She looked like she learned to dance from a series of still pictures
  • Shes madly excited now, she throws her hands up like a tulip
  • She looks like an illustration of a *****tail party
  • Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air,
  • Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language
  • And it should have been her biggest night
  • The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry
  • All over the world at the very same time people sharing the same sorrow
  • As the satellite looks down her darkest hour is somebodys bright tomorrow
  • He pulled on a cigarette, in the crook of his first finger
  • Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hour-glass figure
  • As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
  • How could she know as she stepped through the lights, that her dress would become transparent
  • And with his face pressed to the screen,
  • He muttered words hed never dare to say if she could see him
  • All over the world at the very same time
  • People sharing the same cheap sensation the
  • Thrill of watching somebody watching those
  • Forbidden things we never mention
  • Chorus:
  • The satellite looks down right now and forever
  • What it has pulled apart let no man tether his own body to his dream,
  • His dream to someone else
  • Oh no, oh no.
  • She went back to a pitiful compromise, hed go back to his family
  • But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
  • In the hot unloving spotlight, with secrets it arouses
  • Now they both know what its like inside a pornographers trousers
  • And in a funny way its anonymous, the satellite
  • It blesses us and makes these dreams come
  • True... all over the world
  • Chorus
