Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
Cute guys in crew cuts with the day goes to bars
There's a pretty lady in a bikini
Her eyes are clear
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
She's trying to fix her dreams
With seaweed and sushi and carrot juice and wheat germ

There's a wide wall
That she can't see over now
But that's ok
Because mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

A jog in the morning with some vitamins
Then go to a singles bar
California is sure lovely
It's the home of the stars
And everybody's got a great body, but mine
That's just fine
Cuz everybody's so shriveled up inside
They're trying to hide behind
Power Bars and Vollyball and Valium

It's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's ok
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

No matter where you go
You can't outrun a cold
No matter what you do
You can't escape the flu
No matter how you try
You can't stop a satellite

In Hollywood there's all these heroes
They're strung out on grace
Half-skinned gypsies
They're 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

There's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's all right
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

You can't hold back a Satellite

See Sassy

See Sassy wake up she's in love
Can't you tell by the ring on her finger
Can't you tell by her fifty dollar shoes
That she confuses love with the people she uses
But don't worry about nothing, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall
See Sassy wake up, a little girl
She looks so feminine, so fragile, so weak
And Papa said that she's too cute for words
So Sassy never learned how to speak
But don't worry bout nothing, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall
Hush you baby, don't you cry
Papa's gonna buy you some pudding pie
Hush you baby, don't distress
Papa's gonna buy you a real nice dress
As though that could mend your heart
As though it could keep it from being torn apart
As though it were your destiny
To face every man you meet on your knees
See Sassy wake up on the other side
She stares at her wedding dress and starts to cry
She's got big eyes but they don't see too clear
She says, "My god, how did I end up here?"
But don't worry about it, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
See Sassy wake up she's in love...
See Sassy wake up she's in love...

Time passes quickly for our lady of the hour
She brushes her long blonde hair
From her face only to find a tear
But she don't know why she's been crying

She looks inside herself
To maybe find an answer
But she's willingly distracted
By the man who like's her glitter
She says, "Fool, I ain't gold."

She don't even know she cries Cuz she's so tangled up in lies

In her head she plays a game
Pretending that she's not the same Lady who is cheating on her husband
With a man she hardly even knows
She says, "Ignorance is bliss."

But when he asks her name
She must fumble for an answer
She's been called so many
But now she can't remember
So she just makes up another

And she don't even know she cries Cuz she's so tangled up in lies

Now the dirty deed is done
She heads into the bathroom
She washes her hands in the sink
And thinks it could clean her conscience
If only she could find one

And slowly she turns and heads
For the door as if this were all a dream
She has seen her sweet husband's face
But only like a fleeting glimse
Of all those bridges she's been burning
All those bridges she's been burning

And she don't even know she cries
It should come as no surprise
Cuz she's so tangled up in lies

"I don't mean to be bad," said the bubble headed blonde,
and it was probably true.
"But what else can you do when looks are all people notice
and looks are all that they want, too."

And now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin
wings Cause she was never raised to know any better
because he is the best thing she has ever seen

And Papa said she's too cute for words
So she never learned how to speak
And mama said she don't need to read
just a hot mercedes and a decent man that won't (spring a leak)?
So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
because he is the best thing she has ever seen

In school all she learned that talk is cheap
but looks they come for free
They said "Hey, why try and think girl, if you can smile
and get anything you need?"

So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
because he is the best thing she has ever seen

She said "Sometimes there's this fear inside
that cannot sleep at night, though he is sleeping fine
And I used to like the way he talked
before I knew promises were just other words for 'goodbye'."

See now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
As she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
because he is the best thing she
He is the best thing she will ever see.

Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
And I swear to God it won't happen again
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Romeo was a very nice man
He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes It be that way

I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
Could get across these simple things
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
And I'm sorry for all the times
I forgot to imply something in between the lines
And i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
Electricity chases its tail in the hall
And I'm sorry if my arms to you were just empty rooms
I'm sorry I never could comfort you
And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town
And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
And I'm sorry if I caused you pain
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And flame licks the air with its silver tongue
Night has many hands but I have just one
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
I'm sorry I never served you Camomile tea
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

Spivy Leeks was a drip of a man
I met him washing dishes in a local cafe
And he told me if...were fishes
He'd steal all their scales and he ... away

Spivy Leeks was an introvert
Like a broken radio
He'd make your day real long
An end result, ... time he looked up women's skirt
Just trying to figure out what was right from what was wrong

He was looking for Jesus in all the wrong places
There in my hole, save his soul
Spivy Leeks, It's time to go home

Spivy Leeks was an odd looking man
He looks just like a pool table
Shoved into jeans
And he thought that he possessed a secret power
And no matter what he did, he would be redeemed

Spivy Leeks lived at the local 7-11
He looked at dirty magazines most everyday
He studied those pictures like he studied the Bible
He thought that they were angels and that he'd been saved

He was looking for Jesus in all the wrong places
There in my hole, save his soul
Spivy Leeks, It's time to go home

Spivy Leeks robbed a liquor store
Instead of a gun, he used a candy bar
He told the cashiers that he was their saviour
But his holyness,
His holyness and his Baby Ruth didn't get him very far

Spivy Leeks died a glorious death
Down on main street
It was quite a public site
And as Mr. Sheriff man was about to
Blow him to pieces
He said "Halejuhah, I'm coming home tonight."

A child 12 years of age stared into the sun
She stared into the bright lights of the world
It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old
And she close her eyes tight to feel the darkness

She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so fine
She danced around with her eyes shut
To see the stars in her mind
Spinning Jupiter, spinning Mars
She herself was just a singing star
A breathing constellation

Cause she's a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart

For lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind
And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times
And giant birds lifted themselves
Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes in the sky

She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced for them
And she followed all the lines back
To where they did begin
She saw her mother in pegas wings'
She felt her father in a scorpions' sting
A genetic constellation

She was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart

She saw bursting flowers...
Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones
She saw stories her grandfather used to tell
His flesh was frozen and kept so well
She could unstand the meaning of the words, the pictures and all

She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so well
And she danced until her knees got weak
And all resistance fell
And all the walls, they came tumbling down
She stood eyes open, back on the ground
Why's it glowing like glory

She was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart

The doorway frames
You a perfect picture silouette
Blue sky of regret
Enough to hang out

Your legs seemed to tremble
At least I imagine that they do
Then again, it's probly easy For you

Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs I can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

The yellow wall paper peels
A strange halo around your head
It's funny how you notice these
Stupid things instead

You say something awkward
But I wish that you wouldn't
A whole life of you wish you could's
But just couldn'ts

Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs I can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

I try not to fight too much
It only just makes me mad
Spent half my life loving you
Think of all the love that I could have had

Five years of kisses
Packed in my bags
And this tiny moment fits
All the big things we ever had
I can't quite pinpoint
When it left or what for
Love always steps lightly
Away from the door

Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs Hell I've known you for years
There's no need to explain
No there's no need to explain
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night delivers you to my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around you head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours
Building a summer home in your arms
I kiss you with the languid adiration of slumber
Landin' random as lotto numbers
One for each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
Am I crazy, do I talk too much?
Sometimes I think your silence is a crutch
Am I mad, are you married?
Oh jesus this love stuff can sure be scary
But so sweet... So sweet
Here in your arms
I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much
But when I'm away it's you I long to touch
And certain things remind me it's such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms

I was just a child
When you took my hand
We set the whole damn world on fire
You showed me what it was to be loved by a man
But one day the ax just fell
And the whole world got shot all to hell
There's a hole in my heart

We were so... So close to heaven
We were almost as good, as good as it gets
And you were almost an angel
That was almost heaven sent
So close to heaven
So close


Our love was crazy and wild
Tender and mild, slow & strong
Tonight I'll set it on fire
As noble as a storm
The lightning fell from your eyes
Suddenly, there was no goodbye
There's a hole in my heart


We were so... So close to heaven
We were almost as good, as good as it gets
And you were almost an angel
That was almost heaven sent
So close to heaven
So close

Wax wings that flew too close to the sun
But wasn't it so fun to fly
It's far better to love than to lose
Than never to love, then to die
Oh you were so... So close to heaven
We were almost, almost, almost as good as it gets
And you were almost an angel
Which was almost heaven sent
So close to heaven
so close... to heaven
So close.... to heaven

Mirror mirror
Do you like what you see?
I'll dance for you
And you'll dance for me
Who says a woman cannot serve?
It would be my pleasure
Who says it is not my destiny
To let you control me

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feeling alright
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego, serve the ego

Two ships sailing on a neon sea
Eat the flesh, spit out the seeds
Feathered hair and lam� heels
What turns me on is so surreal

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feeling alright
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego, serve the ego

Tutt tutt
To discover
Oh no
Yesterday's lover

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feeling alright
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego, serve the ego
