After The Fire After The Fire - Satellite In Orbit

I'm a rocket on the launch pad, firing up and gunning down
I'm a racing motorcycle, I'm really covering the ground
I'm a satellite in orbit, I'm a planet round the sun
Look around and I'll be gone, look around and I'll be gone

I'm a train in locomotion, moving down the open track
I'm a wave out on the ocean, 'cause I'm never looking back
I'm a satellite in orbit, I'm a planet round the sun
You make me feel like I'm moving, you take me up and away
You give me all that I need from day to day

I'm a seven-forty-seven, on a supersonic flight
I'm a truck out on the highway, burning right into the night
I'm a satellite in orbit, I'm a planet round the sun
Look around and I'll be gone, look around and I'll be gone
Look around and I'll be gone, look around and I'll be gone

I could have been just happy wasting my time
I could have been at home still on my bed
I could have been so dull if I had not met you instead
Could have been so ordinary
Could have been so ordinary
Could have been so ordinary
(chant) Could have been so

If they wanna find me, then they better hit the gas
They'll be trailing far behind me, 'cause I'm moving pretty fast
I'm a satellite in orbit, I'm a planet round the sun
You make me feel like I'm moving, You take me up and away
You give me all that I need from day to day

Could have been so ordinary
Could have been so ordinary
Could have been so ordinary
(chant) Could have been so
