She looked like she learned to dance from a series of still pictures | She looked like she learned to dance from a | ||

Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air, | |||
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air | champagne rolls off her tongue | ||
Like a second language | |||
And it should have been her biggest night | And it should have been her biggest night | ||
The satellite looks down on her as she begins | |||
to cry | |||
All over the world at the very same time people | |||
sharing the same sorrow | |||
As the satellite looks down her darkest hour is | |||
somebody's bright tomorrow | |||
He pulled on a cigarette, in the crook of his | |||
first finger | |||
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect | |||
hour-glass figure | |||
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness | |||
was his talent | |||
How could she know as she stepped through | |||
the lights, that her dress would become | |||
transparent | |||
And with his face pressed to the screen, he | |||
muttered words he'd never dare to say if she | |||
could see him | |||
All over the world at the very same time | |||
People sharing the same cheap sensation the | |||
thrill of watching somebody watching those | |||
forbidden things we never mention | |||
Chorus: | |||
The satellite looks down right now and forever | The satellite looks down right now and forever | ||
What it has pulled apart let no man tether his | |||
What it | own body to his dream, | ||
His dream to someone else | His dream to someone else | ||
Oh no, oh no. | Oh no, oh no. | ||
She went back to a pitiful compromise | She went back to a pitiful compromise | ||
He'd go back to his family | He'd go back to his family | ||
But for the matter of a thousand miles that | |||
separated them entirely | |||
In the hot unloving spotlight, with secrets | |||
it arouses | |||
Now they both know what it's like inside a | |||

And in a funny way it's anonymous, the satellite | |||
it blesses us and makes these dreams come | |||
true... All over the world | |||

She looked like she learned to dance from a series of still pictures She's madly excited now, she throws her hands up like a tulip
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air, champagne rolls off her tongue Like a second language And it should have been her biggest night The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry
All over the world at the very same time people sharing the same sorrow As the satellite looks down her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
He pulled on a cigarette, in the crook of his first finger Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hour-glass figure As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent How could she know as she stepped through the lights, that her dress would become transparent And with his face pressed to the screen, he muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him
All over the world at the very same time People sharing the same cheap sensation the thrill of watching somebody watching those forbidden things we never mention
Chorus:
The satellite looks down right now and forever What it has pulled apart let no man tether his own body to his dream, His dream to someone else Oh no, oh no.
She went back to a pitiful compromise He'd go back to his family But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely In the hot unloving spotlight, with secrets it arouses Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers And in a funny way it's anonymous, the satellite it blesses us and makes these dreams come true... All over the world
Chorus
