Satellite in My Backyard

Verse 1

Street hum drowns the day

Sirens cut the air at noon

Concrete teeth and traffic jaws

Swallow every little tune

Pre-Chorus

Fingertips on gravel road

Windows down and radio low

I've been saving up this quiet

Like a secret made of gold

Chorus

Far away from noise

That's where I wanna be

Satellite in my backyard

Only stars to talk to me

Far away

Where the speakers fall asleep

Verse 2

Telephones keep ringing

Every screen a little door

Empty grocery parking lots

Don't owe me any more

Pre-Chorus

Barefoot on the damp brown earth

Holding nothing but my worth

I don't need the evening news

Just the moon above my berth

Chorus

Far away from noise

That's where I wanna be

Satellite in my backyard

Only stars to talk to me

Far away

Where the speakers fall asleep

Bridge

Hush now careful now

The crickets write the score

Low and slow the fuzz will melt

Into the forest floor

Chorus

Far away from noise

That's where I wanna be

Satellite in my backyard

Only stars to talk to me

Far away

Where the speakers fall asleep
