Night falls like a guillotine
Sun dies like a warrior
Shadows that the light disgraced
Linger like an aftertaste

Sell your kingdom for a kiss
Know you’ll never better this
Baby, I’m your satellite
Don’t leave me in the dark tonight

I was starting fires
No one sounded the alarms
Frayed and forlorn as a field of corn
‘Til you gathered me up in your arms
You made me golden days
From nights of filthy weather
Stay with me
For now, if not forever

Love hits like speeding train
Comes on like a hurricane
Wrong and right are redefined
I crossed your heart, you blew my mind

And we’ll eclipse the past
The new star will outshine the last
Baby, I’m your satellite
Don’t leave me in the dark tonight

I was starting fires
No one sounded the alarms
Frayed and forlorn as a field of corn
‘Til you gathered me up in your arms
You made me golden days
From nights of filthy weather
Stay with me
For now, if not forever

(Repeat chorus x 2)

Satellite
