Satellite

[Verse 1]

She looked like she learned to dance

From a series of still pictures

She's madly excited now

She throws her hands up like a tulip

She looks like an illustration of a cocktail 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 somebody's bright tomorrow

[Verse 2]

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 he'd 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

[Verse 3]

She went back to a pitiful compromise

He'd 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 it's like inside a pornographer's trousers

And in a funny way it's anonymous

The satellite it blesses us and makes these dreams come true

All over the world at the very same time

All over the world

[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
