Chinese Satellite

I've been running around in circles
 Pretending to be myself
 ♪
 Why would somebody do this on purpose
 When they could do something else?
 ♪
 Drowning out the morning birds
 With the same three songs over and over
 I wish I wrote it, but I didn't, so I learn the words
 Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever
 Took a tour out to see the stars
 But they weren't out tonight
 So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite
 I want to believe
 Instead I look at the sky, and I feel nothing
 You know I hate to be alone
 I want to be wrong
 ♪
 You were screamin' at the Evangelicals
 They were screamin' right back from what I remember
 When you said, "I will never be your vegetable"
 Because I think when you're gone, it's forever
 But you know I'd stand on the corner
 Embarrassed with a picket sign
 If it meant I would see you
 When I die
 Sometimes when I can't sleep
 It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things
 Swore I could feel you through the walls
 But that's impossible
 I want to believe
 That if I go outside, I'll see a tractor beam
 Coming to take me to where I'm from
 I want to go home
