  • We were born forever
    We are twinned in a fugitive mind
    Friends should stay together and
    Light the world with the fugitive kind

    So you keep talking in many languages
    Telling us the way you feel
    Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
    Don't quit, you're walking satellites

    Walking satellites
    She laughs satellites
    A room filled with satellites
    Ah, walking satellites

    We were born forever
    Tunneled into the fugitive night
    Friends must stay together
    Code the world with the fugitive light

    I just saw you walking
    Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
    Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys
    You'll never read it more than you will tonight

    So you keep talking in many languages
    Telling us the way you feel
    Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
    Don't quit, you're walking satellites

    Walking satellites
    She laughs satellites
    A room filled with satellites
    Ah, walking satellites Writer/s: BRYON GLYNNE JONES, CATHERINE MAREE KELLEHER, MICHAEL DI FRANCESCO, NICHOLAS ROUTLEDGE

  • Paul B. from OhioI like the song Satellites but the video looks like a couple who don't want the responsibility of raising a child and just abandon her outside a storefront, where consequently a man takes her away. Maybe his intentions are good but the video leaves me wondering. Is this a comment about not judging a book by its cover as the attractive young couple do something reprehensible and a not so attractive person has the good heart to rescue the unfortunate child. In the end the couple seems to go on their merry way while the man is holding the child's hand protectively.
