Comet trailing across the sky
Caught the tail end of the evening news
Cutting across a still night sky
Ball of ice makes the anchor comment "ooh"
"Well wasn't that nice, next time around we'll be nothing but dust
Well wasn't that nice"
Funky Satellite, Funky Satellite
Morning star set upon horizon
Squinted eye made to comment on
Holding steady in the rising blue
Ball of vapour makes the siamese wonder too
That's a funny star, wonder how much space is left between us? That's a funny star...
Funky Satellite, spinning on a solo go round
Funky Satellite, happy hunting grounds
Funky Satellite
Funky Satellite spinning return to sender
Trail of dust through the night, been here and been there
Comet racing into sight, slow burn satellite
Caught the edge of the world and pulled us skyward
Caught the edge of the world and bowled us over
Funky Satellite
Comet bracing, then waves bye-bye
Just missed the edges of earth, no stops along the way
Between the blue and the harvest moon
That ball of fire left our chance for night and day
Could we live right on such a pock marked subservient
Could we live right
Funky Satellite, spinning on a solo go round
Funky Satellite, happy hunting grounds

Intimate pop; Bollinger's vocals sound almost confidential as she muses on relationship neuroses over woozy, breezy instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2019
