Lyrics
Satellite's gone
Up to the skies Things like that drive me Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while I like to watch things on TV
Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of
Satellite's gone Way up to Mars Soon it will be filled With parking cars
I watch it for a little while I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of
I've been told that you've been bold With Harry, Mark and John Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to Thursday With Harry, Mark and John
Satellite's gone Up to the skies Things like that drive me Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love
Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love Satellite of love
