Happy Satellite

(album: Tilt - 1999)

Every day and every night
I'm stopping planes collide
On my own above blue skies
I'm a happy satellite

I watch the world's ugliness
It all unfolds as I pass
I see the young and depressed
I hope they learn how to laugh
I'm watching heartache and pain
I measure levels of rain
I notice changes in tides
I know where you were last night

I'm just a machine that records all I see
And you can shower me with praises
Or arm me with lasers
Every day and every night
I'm stopping planes collide
On my own above blue skies
I'm a happy satellite

I record famines and droughts
Weather fronts and shoot outs
Deforestations and floods
I'm watching couples make love
I'm numb with typhoons and hate
Even police make mistakes
In lakes outside new towns
I'm watching UFO's drown

Every day and every night
I'm stopping planes collide
On my own above blue skies
I'm a happy satellite

Up where the skies are blue
I follow your every move
I'm watching over you
I know when you're cruel
I love it when lightning strikes
It lights up your dreary lives
I wish I was blind tonight

I'm just a machine that records all I see
Shower me with praises
Or arm me with lasers

Every day and every night
I'm stopping planes collide
On my own above blue skies
I'm a happy satellite
I'm a happy satellite
I'm a happy satellite

Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
I'm a happy satellite
Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
Everywhere I turn or I go there's a rainbow
