Satellite

Echo And The Bunnymen · Echo & The Bunnymen [1987]

Moonlight, starlight

Insight, out of sight

Something's certain

Draw the curtains, draw them



Take the night when it calls

Take the night when it falls

When it falls, when it falls, when it falls



You will, I might

Talking satellites

Rockets, comets

Something's coming



Take the night when it calls

Take the night when it falls

When it falls

Take the night when it falls



What out, all out

In doubt, far out

Wheels in motion

Take it, take it, take it the potion



Take the night when it calls

Take the night when it falls

When it falls, when it falls, when it falls



Moonlight

Starlight

Insight

Out of sight



Take the night when it calls

Take the night when it falls

When it calls, when it falls

When it falls, when it calls

When it falls, when it falls

When it calls, when it falls



Oh when it falls

It falls, it falls

It falls, it falls

It falls
