Recovering The Satellites Lyrics by Counting Crows

Recovering The Satellites Lyrics

    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 the wildest people they 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 you're desperate displays
    And she watches as her babies drift violently away
    'Til 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 are you gonna come down

    She sees shooting stars and comet tails
    She's got heaven in her 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 everybody's satellite
    I wish that you were mine

    So why'd you come home to this angel town
    It's a lifetime decission
    Recovering the satellites
    Everybody really knows for sure...
    That you're gonna come down
    That you're gonna come down
