Another Satellite
My heart is taken, it's not lost
in space
And I don't want to see your mooney, mooney face
I say, why on earth do you revolve around me?
Aren't you aware of the gravity?
Don't need another satellite
 I'm
happy standing on my feet of clay
I have no wish to swim your milky, milky way
I say, why on earth do you send your letters 'round here?
Only to gum up the atmosphere?
Don't need another satellite
So, circling we'll orbit another year
Two worlds that won't collide
So, circling we'll orbit another year
Moon still tries to steal the tide away
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Abort your mission; let's just say you tried
Before you glimpse, I have a darker, darker side
I say, why in Heaven's name do you come on these trips?
Only to freeze in a total eclipse?
Don't need another satellite
So, circling we'll orbit another year
Two worlds that won't collide
So, circling we'll orbit another year
Moon still tries to steal the tide away
Don't need another satellite
Don't need another satellite
Lost in Space
Not that this has anything to do with the lyrics, but I always liked
the TV show Lost in Space... [
Lost in Space - Classic TV ]
Moon still tries to steal the
tide away
The gravitaional pull of the moon in orbit causes the tides
to rise and fall because it pulls the water towards it. [
How Does the Moon Affect Tides? ]
Total Eclipse
A total eclipse occurs when one celestial body completely blocks
another from view. For instance, a total solar eclipse is caused
when the moon is directly int he sight-line of the sun. [
