Babies on beach blankets headed for mars
Cute guys in crew cuts with the day goes to bars
Theres a pretty lady in a bikini
Her eyes are clear
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
Shes trying to fix her dreams
With seaweed and sushi and carrot juice and wheat germ
Theres a wide wall
That she cant see over now
But thats ok
Because mistakes are allowed when youre a
Satellite
A jog in the morning with some vitamins
Then go to a singles bar
California is sure lovely
Its the home of the stars
And everybodys got a great body, but mine
Thats just fine
Cuz everybodys so shriveled up inside
Theyre trying to hide behind
Power bars and vollyball and valium
Its a wide wall
That we cant see over now
But thats ok
Were still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when youre a
Satellite
No matter where you go
You cant outrun a cold
No matter what you do
You cant escape the flu
No matter how you try
You cant stop a satellite
In hollywood theres all these heroes
Theyre strung out on grace
Half-skinned gypsies
Theyre crying to leave this place
There are souls stuck in a bone machine
They are dying in crowded rooms
They are dying of blood on bone
They are crushed by ? ? ?
Cigarettes and ? ? and high hopes
Theres a wide wall
That we cant see over now
But thats all right
Were still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when youre a
Satellite
You cant hold back a satellite
