The Replacements - Satellite Lyrics

Thirty more channels than you need
I could tune in free
Some rabbit ears, some foil in a hanger

Static on channel 13 cleared long enough for a scene
A jet flew over head and it faded

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Satellite

Dug up from the depths of (oh man?, old man? a man?), sewer southern flow
A boy I couldn't name, I knew well
newscast end is still a rambler, useless to my cause
You're nowhere to be found on the airwaves

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Satellite

So far from my reach
Close enough to see
I sleep beside the set at night and I can't let you leave

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Oh, need to spy on a Communist love affair
Nothing('s) on the moon
Nothing I want to see but your face

Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite
