In the Satellite Rides a Star

by Neko Case

Time knows you're done
Time has you filed
I’m in the middle
Letters you’ve signed
In your cursive, cursive style
Going down tonight
It’s different for boys and girls
I’ve got your number
I know who you are
You're a satellite on the whirl
And I feel it slowing
And I feel it slowing down
And I feel it slowing
And I feel it slowing down
You didn’t have the right
To go so many a mile
Ain’t a good woman who rolls out of sight
She could honestly stay a while
So roll on as you like
Yeah roll in the sand like a stone
I’ve got your number
I know who you were
You were a satellite all alone
And I feel it slowing
And I feel it slowing down
And I feel it slowing
And I feel it slowing down
and in the satellite rides a star
