she sings to the stars and smiles with her eyes
a fading glimpse, a trick of the light
she floats along with breathless sighs
a lonely beacon in the night

but to you she's just another satellite
distant vision, who's holding has decayed
she closes her eyes and she shuts out the light
she says, everything looks better that way

lonesome tries, could never make her lose her place
all her life, could send her swimming off in space
some may say, it's not the end of the human race
but to her it feels the same

she floats along across the sun
she drifts from day into night
she feels like she's the only one
but she's one of billions in the night

and to you she's just another satellite
distant vision, who's holding has decayed
she closes her eyes and she shuts out the light
she says, everything looks better that way

lonesome tries, could never make her lose her place
all her life, has sent her swimming off in space
some may say, it's not the end of the human race
but to her it feels the same

once or twice, could never make her lose her place
all her life, has sent her swimming off in space
some may say, it's not the end of the human race
but to her it feels the same
