MODEST MOUSE - Satellite Skin lyrics

rate me

<BR>

If you break these moth wing feelings<br>

Powdering dust on your fingers<br>

We know we're not praying we're kneeling<br>

Hard enough just to say you believe them<br>

Well how the heck did you think you could beat them<br>

At the same time that you're trying to be them<br>

Hard enough just to say you don't need it when they<br>

Took it up while you were still eating<br>

Well satellite, satellite skin<br>

<br>

Just enough just to say you don't mean it<br>

Well, when everybody's willing to listen<br>

Oh satellite, satellite skin<br>

You can say what you want you're forgiven<br>

Well happy fucking congratulations<br>

Well everyone, everyone wins<br>

Just like being in my own solar system<br>

Doing good things but then totally eclipse them<br>

Oh what the use, oh what the hell<br>

<br>

If you break these moth wing feelings<br>

Butterfly knives in the ceiling<br>

Well everyone, everyone's waiting<br>

Detachments get praised and completed<br>

You can say what you want and not mean it<br>

When no one really seems to be waiting<br>

If you sweep up this mess I've created<br>

Nothing's left to show I existed<br>

Except satellite, satellite skin<br>

<br>

Asking for a question<br>

Was it easier said than was actually done<br>

Do you even believe that<br>

Do you even believe that there's a race to be won<br>

<br>

If you break these moth wing feelings<br>

I have seen it all because satellite skin<br>

Over innocent eyes<br>

I'd like to know these morbid opinions<br>

Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots<br>

Just to tell you how I could not have seen<br>

Through to the gist of those unhappy<br>

Happy accidents<br>

<BR><BR>
