Recovering The Satellites Lyrics - Recovering The Satellites - Counting Crows

Gonna get back to basics 

Guess I'll start it up again 

I'm falling' from the ceilin' 

You're falling from the sky now and then 

Maybe you were shot down in pieces 

Maybe I slipped in between 

But we we're gonna be the wildest, the wildest 

The wildest people they ever hoped to see, just you and me 

So why'd you come home to this sleepless town 

It's a lifetime commitment recovering the satellites 

All anybody really wants to know is 

When you're gonna come down, when you're gonna come down 

Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays 

And she watches as her babies drift violently away 

'Til they see themselves in telescopes 

Do you see yourself in me? 

We're such crazy babies, little monkey 

God, we're so fucked up, you and me 

So why'd you come home to this faithless town 

Where we make a lifetime commitment 

To recovering the satellites 

And all anybody really wants to know is 

When are you're gonna come down, down, down, down, down 

When you're gonna come down 

She sees shooting stars and comet tails 

She's got heaven in her eyes 

She says, "I don't, I don't, I don't need to be an angel 

But I'm nothing, I'm nothing if I'm not this high" 

But we only stay in orbit for a moment of time 

And then you're everybody's satellite 

I wish that you were mine, I wish that you were mine 

So why'd you come home to this angels town 

It's a lifetime decision recovering the satellites 

Everybody really knows for sure 

That you're gonna come down, that you're gonna come down
