Chinese Satellite

I've been running around in circles

Pretending to be myself

♪

Why would somebody do this on purpose

When they could do something else?

♪

Drowning out the morning birds

With the same three songs over and over

I wish I wrote it, but I didn't, so I learn the words

Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

Took a tour out to see the stars

But they weren't out tonight

So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite

I want to believe

Instead I look at the sky, and I feel nothing

You know I hate to be alone

I want to be wrong

♪

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals

They were screamin' right back from what I remember

When you said, "I will never be your vegetable"

Because I think when you're gone, it's forever

But you know I'd stand on the corner

Embarrassed with a picket sign

If it meant I would see you

When I die

Sometimes when I can't sleep

It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things

Swore I could feel you through the walls

But that's impossible

I want to believe

That if I go outside, I'll see a tractor beam

Coming to take me to where I'm from

I want to go home
