lyrics

I saw a satellite this morning.
It was moving. Moving
So slowly that while the world still slept
We pushed it aside, moving . . .

Of course we know what it means to be poor:
A violent death holding nothing;
With your last breath, feeling panic;
And whatever a heart attack is.

We are all satellites creasing the sky.
She's got her head down, and smiles so demurely.
She's a grand ole thing -- reverent and sailing --
She stays with me tonight, until I disappear with the morning.

Of course we know what it means to be poor:
A violent death holding nothing;
With your last breath, feeling/panic,
And whatever a heart attack is.

So give yourself an arterial Mickey,
And be a dull don't-worry-or-care-now;
Let go of the steering wheel, and
Slide down as the world starts swerving.

Give yourself an arterial Mickey --
And be a dull don't-worry-or-care-now --
Let go of the steering wheel, and
Slide down as the world starts swerving.
