Satellite

Written by Si Atherley

A song about love, planets and obsession

You stole my heart
At the very start
You came storming in
And made my head spin

Turned me into
Your satellite
And I was happy
You were my delight

Spinning round and round
Around planet you
Spinning round and round
My orbit’s true

You had my heart
From the very start
Told me that
We’d never be apart

But you turned me into
Your spinning toy
And my heart was breaking
Just like a little boy

Spinning round and round
Round planet you
Spinning round and round
My heart was blue

I don’t want to fall
Over in the sky
I wanna come back down
Put my feet on solid ground

But every time I’m
In your atmosphere
I start burning up
My heart’s filled with fear
 
Falling down and down
It’s getting hot
Falling down and down
My nerves are shot

 
break

Don’t want to be
Your cold war spy
I don’t want to live
And let die

For all I am
Is just a normal guy
I don’t want to live
In your big fat lie

Spinning round and round
In your web of lies
Spinning round and round
No-one hears my cries

You say to me
You’ve got your values
So why are you
Always in the news?

And I know you say
You’ve got the blues
Yet I see you dancing
In your shiny shoe

Dancing round and round
Around planet you
Dancing round and round
In shocking blue

I hear you plead
“My heart is true”
But it’s not what you say
It’s what you do

Your charisma, your charm
It’s just cause for alarm
Since Aphrodite
Fuels your appetite
 
Spinning round the town
Always someone new
Spinning round and round
Leaves my heart so blue

Now I’m cold, I’m drifting
In the darkest night
A dead satellite
I’m your sacrifice

So why can’t you
Give me back my heart
The one you stole
At the very start

Spinning round and round
Round planet you
Spinning round and round
And my planet’s blue
