The Replacements – Satellite Lyrics

Pop

Thirty more channels than you need
I could tune in free
Some rabbit ears, some foil in a hanger

Static on channel 13 cleared long enough for a scene
A jet flew over head and it faded

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Satellite

Dug up from the depths of old man sewer southern flow
A boy I couldn't name, I knew well
Newscast end is still a rambler, useless to my cause
You're nowhere to be found on the airwaves

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Satellite

So far from my reach
Close enough to see
I sleep beside the set at night and I can't let you leave

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Oh, need to spy on a communist love affair
Nothing's on the moon
Nothing I want to see but your face
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen

Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
Bought a satellite
