Planes & Satellites Lyrics

When I was a boy

You know my momma would say to me

The world's a mystery of darkness and light



When I was a kid

I was sent off to inner space

To escape the evil place, I was livin' in

Well, well



When I was alone

I would close my eyes at night

Filled with imaginary light, with the moon and stars

Yeah, yeah



But I remember

Livin' in the street

And then my heart just drifts away, into the night

Well, well, well



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa



You know my momma said, boy

She said, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby boy

You're the one that's safe?

You know that evil ain't goin' away

It ain't goin' away, no, no



But I look up in the sky, yeah yeah

It ain't flooded with the stars

Pretty lights are flying across

Shinin' on me yeah yeah



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa



When I was a boy

I remember livin' in the streets

I didn't have enough to eat

It was a misery, yeah



But I could wake up

And look up in the sky

Hoping that God's light

Would shine on me, yeah yeah



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa



In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa
