don’t be frightened it’s a beautiful night
we’ll have a beautiful sight from up there in the sky
let’s take a ride on a satellite
let’s take a ride on a satellite

let’s put ourselves in a digital receiver
reverse the polarity and become a believer
let’s take a ride on a satellite
let’s take a ride on a satellite

through tons of cold air we make our way through the ether
pray a bit for good luck and pray a bit for good weather
in the dead of night we step bit by bit
at the speed of light i bet we get there
in less than a second it’s a beautiful night
let’s take a ride on a satellite
let’s take a ride on a satellite

from a common point of view these are just recent changes
it’s just recent from a common point of view
but if you’d have a closer look
you could see how it changed and how
it slowly crept along and how it grew up

i feel mixed ‘cause it’s a bit of a strange night
i’m too frightened to look but i can’t close my eyes
i hope we make it to the satellite
i hope we make it to the satellite
the stars look angry and the meteor’s mad
for some reason the sun averts and the earth looks so sad
i hope we make it to the satellite
i hope we make it to the satellite
billions of black holes they eye us so greedily
and we suddenly feel like the whores of technology
