Chinese Satellite

I've been running around in circles

Pretending to be myself

Why would somebody do this on purpose?

When they can 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 till the feeling's gone forever

Took a tour 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 screaming at the evangelicals

They were screaming 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 a 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 (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
