Barenaked Ladies Satellite Lyrics

Satellite Lyrics

Worked out that I probably made a mistake 

For each thing I've done right

Just keeping it even at times 

Seems to take every ounce of my might



I might've found gold instead of dust

I might've found someone to hold in trust

I may seem hard in harder times

Even though my colors are fading I stay in the lines



I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn

As sure as I leave, I will return

The moon is too big and too bright

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite



I'm ready, I'm ready, I've already torn 

All my pieces apart

Be steady, be steady instead of my usual 

Fits and starts



My heart has been worn but it ain't broke

It may hiccough and cough black smoke

It may seem old, but it still runs

Yeah my love's got laces that won't come undone



I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn

As sure as I leave, I will return

The moon is too big and too bright

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite



Your satellite

Your satellite

Your satellite



Jupiter's too heavy to hold

And Mars is too cold, and Venus too hot

I'd try for Saturn's beautiful rings

I am none of these things

And I'm glad that I'm not

'Cause you'd expect a lot



I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn

As sure as I leave, I will return

The moon is too big and too bright

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite



Your satellite

Your satellite

Your satellite

I'll be your satellite
