Chinese Satellite

I've been running around in circles

Pretending to be myself

Why would somebody do this on purpose

When they could do something else?

Drowning out the morning birds

With the same three songs over and over

I wish I wrote it, but I didn't, so I learn the words

Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

Took a tour out to see the stars

But they weren't out tonight

So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite

I want to believe

Instead I look at the sky, and I feel nothing

You know I hate to be alone

I want to be wrong

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals

They were screamin' right back from what I remember

When you said, "I will never be your vegetable"

Because I think when you're gone, it's forever

But you know I'd stand on the corner

Embarrassed with a picket sign

If it meant I would see you

When I die

Sometimes when I can't sleep

It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things

Swore I could feel you through the walls

But that's impossible

I want to believe

That if I go outside, I'll see a tractor beam

Coming to take me to where I'm from

I want to go home
