Raining down from satellite
The mystery and the hum
From Kabul to Trinidad
The syllables make us numb
Raining down from satellite
Falling on ears so deaf
Louder than a back glass screaming
Soft as a human breath
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will endure?
Our innocence is rattling now
Like chains falling on the floor
Reasoning means nothing
When you're in the midst of war
They're telegraphing signals
In zeros and in ones
We could go on forever
If we only had the funds
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will endure?
Raining down from satellite
I hear you coming through
We don't say too much right now
Mostly, "Hey, what's new?"
Raining down from satellite
Our voices intertwine
The greatest miracle of the 20th century
And still it slips our minds
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will endure?
Paint your lips fluorescent red
They open up so wide
Your teeth are clenched in anger
Just like some tilted bride
Our voices are on fire tonight
Words seem to have no shape
We're stunned beyond all speaking now
Our mouths just hang agape
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will endure?
Hey, hey, hey
Time slips away
Baby, can you be so sure
That we will endure?
