Lyrics

Orbiting Satellite

Next time, next time, next time around

You shaved your head one New Year’s Eve
To clear your mind of make believe
You camped in snow near Susanville
It all seemed crazy - I remember still

You are a beam of light
A godsend
An orbiting satellite
Please come back again

Next time, next time, next time around

We met when war had just begun
The courthouse protest was no fun
Redneck jeepsters with their guns
Then you brought peace and love for everyone

You are a beam of light
A godsend
An orbiting satellite
Come back - please come back again

You can tell me
If you need a helping hand
You can tell me
If you need someplace to land

I offered you my place to stay
While I’d be off to Frisco Bay
We shared a bite - discussed the plan
I lost your signal - now I understand
