Recovering The Satellites

The 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 te wildest people the 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 your desperate displays


and she watches as her babies drift violently away


'till 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 you gonna come down





she sees shooting stars and comet tails


she's got heaven in er eyes


she says i don't need to be an angel


but i'm nothing if i'm not this high





but we only stay in orbit


for a moment of time


and then you're everybodys satellite


i wish that you were mine





so why'd you come home to this angel's town


well it's a lifetime decision


recovering the satellites


all anybody really knows for sure is...


that you're gonna come down
