Everything within your reach
Is a calculated science
From the sea we crawled up to the beach
In a cradle of defiance
All our own

In a universe of shrinking sights
There are none to be afraid of
We could map a million blinking lights
Just to see what we were made of
I don't know
(Know, know, know, know)

Life beneath the satellites
Life beneath the satellites
We're all doing time beneath
The satellites

Fate is all that kept me here
Till we beat the odds of trying
Now we flail around the atmosphere
And approach the speed of dying
On our own

I believe in satellites
I believe in observation
Do you think for once we'd get it right
And enlist participation
I don't know
(Know, know, know, know)

Life beneath the satellites
Life beneath the satellites
We're all doing time beneath
The satellites

Roll around the world
In my satellite
See the planet twirl
In my satellite
Maybe meet a girl
In my satellite

We're close enough to kiss the Sun
Could you say exactly how it's done

Everything is out of reach
We've eradicated science
If I say there's no one left to teach
Could we build a strange alliance
On our own

Life beneath the satellites
Life beneath the satellites
We're all doing time beneath
(The satellites)
We're all doing time beneath
(The satellites)
We're all doing time beneath
(The satellites)
We're all doing time beneath
(The satellites)
