a tree-lined street with stooping lights
on fevered asphalt manholes sigh
but I can’t sleep tonight
i want to reach out for the sky
with the windows open wide
my head is lighter than a cloud
i want to melt into the night
her silence echoing so loud
there is sadness in hair
the stars don’t sparkle in her stare
her eyes they danced in the moonlight
now they never shine so bright
but it’s just fine, it’s alright
i’m her lonely supersonic satellite
i lay star-shaped on the lawn
as she whispers through the pines
my sweet arcadia until dawn
this whole world is hers and mine
she once was the queen of hearts
the night, she smashed them all to shards
now she hides far out of sight
behind a veil of smoke and light
but it’s just fine, it’s alright
the night she holds me close,
she holds me oh so tight
but we’re just fine, till break of light
i’m her lonely supersonic satellite
