Yo La Tengo

Satellite

Yo La Tengo


A lonely walk until the heaven's break 
Come back home and see what's changed 
Flipped the TV on and every channel's got some satellite 
A broken shoe to practice walking straight 
Take a little step and stop to think 
About the planets and the atmosphere 
and the satellites 
Wait for the day to come, the day to go 
Take all the needles from your hair 
See how the things that happen 
never really ever happen with a thought unaware 
Around the corner, a while to zero in 
And feel for where it ought to be 
If not the nuts and bolts and that'll come 
Like a satellite 
Wait for the day to go, the day to come...
