lyrics

She said you're like a satellite
You are drifting past the stars tonight
She said you're like a satellite,
You are drifting past the stars
I said I ah la la la la
And I sing I lie lie lie lie lie lie
I said I ah la la la la
And I sing I lie lie lie lie lie lie

Did your mother tell you about the man on the moon?
Did your father, show you the stars?
Look now can you see its Orion's belt?
Mr. Moon is smiling down
I used to wish upon shooting stars
But I never liked how fast they'd burn
I want to watch over you the rest of your life
So, now I wish upon satellites
I wish upon satellites

I drift around this earth
And this earth drifts around the galaxy
The galaxy's out drifting 'round the universe
Man, we are so small you see
Like a Super Nova burns our lives they're so quick
Flash of light, then we're gone
I want to make the most of this life
You'll find me... I'll be wishing upon satellites
Oh, I wish upon satellites

I said I ah la la la la
And I sing I lie lie lie lie lie lie
I said I ah la la la la
And I sing I lie lie lie lie lie lie
I wish upon satellites
