Satellite Three

Hollies · 5317704 [2006]

I'm a satellite three

Two others before me

I spend my life revolving round your sun

I'm a satellite three

For me there's no recovery

I'm not in your gravity

I'm in limbo



You took me to the limit of my capabilities

And though I'm alien to you

Doesn't mean that I am through

Though I've endless fuel to burn

No way to turn

No way to turn



I'm a satellite three

Anyone down there watching me

Send me a signal I'll reply

Don't let me die



Break



You took me to the limit of my capabilities

And though I'm alien to you

Doesn't mean that I am through

Though I've endless fuel to burn

No way to turn

No way to turn



I'm a satellite three

Anyone down there watching me

Send me a signal I'll reply

Don't let me die

Don't let me die

Don't let me
