Satellite |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
