Sounds Of The Satellites

Laika Sounds Of The Satellites Lyrics
1.Bedbugs

It's gonna
Swallow me whole
The ground'll open up
And in I'll fall
Down down down
Mama set me up with a fine young thing
And he was gonna buy me everything
But he grabbed the hook
And took out for deep water
And pretty soon that fish
He pulled me in
It's gonna
Follow me home
Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me
In the cold cold ground
Trouble's right behind me
There's hard times ahead
The devil's got his hammer
He's poundin' on my bed
Lost most my money
I'm on my last hand
I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan
Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell
But if I've been just bluffing
I ain't gonna tell
It's gonna
Swallow me whole
The ground'll open up
And in I'll fall

Papa set me up
With a sharp-eyed boy
And I was gonna have him
For my toy
But he stole my heart
And took out for deep water
And pretty soon that shark
He pulled me in
Sky's full of lightening
The wind's spitting sand
Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan
The fish have all stopped jumping
The bedbugs are asleep
I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep
I wish I had a needle
As fine as I could sew
I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down

Little fishes in the brook
Papa catch them with a hook
Brother clean it like a man
Mama fry it in the pan


2.Shut off/curl up

Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder
Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder

The best view from this window
Still looks like hell
And the fists they fall like rain
I know it just a little too well
Angel I've been beaten
Angel I'm a whore
I'm just a little bit older
Just a little less more and more

Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder
Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder

It's too long that I've stayed here
Too long that I've tried
Angel I'm so naked I can't look you in the eye
Oh angel I'm exhausted
I think I'm a lie
I don't know how I got here
I just can't figure out why

Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder
Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder

In twenty-five years I'm silver
And in fifty gold
Angel I just can't imagine what it's like to grow old
Angel there's no time left
Won't you give me strength
To meet you in a different life
To see you when this ends

Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder
Shut off and curl up
If it hurts push harder

The best view from this window
Still looks like hell
And the fists they fall like rain
I know it just a little too well
Angel I've been beaten
Angel I'm a whore
I'm just a little bit older
Just a little less more and more


3.Breather

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

How long do I take it
Can I start to change it
You know it's been a long long time
Can I grow a new skin
Can I try to begin again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

I am always waking
I am always shaking
I think I know this might not end

Can I dry the cold sweat
Get out of this mess again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

Ease into a new box
Shoulder a new lot
It's gonna be a long long time
A whirlwind among breezes
Doing what he pleases again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season


4.Prairie dog

Prairie now isn't that a pretty word
Rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
You should have heard what I heard
A shriek a syllable a sleight of hand
Prairie now isn't that a lonely word
Slips through the hands like a falling star
You should have seen what I saw
A mask an artifice a skillful smear
If I could pull the nerves from my skin
If I could pull the nerves from my skin
I would

Prairie now isn't that an evil word
Trips on its feet like a slouching beast
Surely things will change now
A start a plan a place to go

If I could pull the nerves from my skin
If I could pull the nerves from my skin
I would

Prairie now isn't that a pretty word
Rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
You should have heard what I heard
A shriek a syllable a sleight of hand

Surely things will change now
Surely things will change now
Surely things will change now
Surely things will change now


5.Poor gal

I'm a poor gal long way from home 'fore I get to heaven got a
way to roam
And when I get there gonna take off my shoes got nothin' now &
nothin' to lose
All day long you heard me moan you can tell my friends when I am
gone
A dollar for some bacon a nickel for the lard I'd like to buy
some more but times are hard

You work me late, you work me soon
Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon
You work me late, you work me soon
Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon

Going to see my long haired babe
Got her a dress on the last pay day
Gonna treat her nice gonna treat her fine
Gonna take her home on the railroad line
Gonna treat her nice gonna treat her fine
Take her home on the railroad line

You work me late, you work me soon
Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon
You work me late, you work me soon
Sometimes you work me by the light of the moon


6.Out of sight and snowblind

I watch the lights on the ocean
I count the leaves on the trees
If it wasn't for your indecision
There'd be nothing between you and me
I catch your eye it's a showdown
Anticipate your every move
Purposely find contradiction
Escalate nothing to prove

Instants of calm fly by mocking
All poking fun at a smile
She pulls a face in the mirror
Lately it's just not our style

Losing control to stay under
Fighting and screaming down walls
Worry has made you a martyr
Washed up and left for the birds
I count the leaves on the trees
I watch the lights on the ocean
I count the leaves on the trees
I watch the lights on the ocean


7.Starry night

It is night
And life moves
At a new pace
The air is still
The earth sleeps
We move with the grace
Of the moon sweeping
Through the clouds
It is night
And life moves
At a new pace
The air is still
The earth sleeps
We move with the grace
Of the moon sweeping
Through the clouds
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars
Break through
One by one the stars


8.Blood + bones(Moody Mix)

Wake up girl what's wrong with you blood
Bones + black + blue - blood + bones + black + blue
All these things I do for you
All these things I do for you
All these things I do for you
All these things I do for you
All these things I do for you
All these things I do for you ...


9.Spooky rhodes

There are things I can't explain
Why a seashell loves the sand
Why tornadoes love the plains
Why my dreams have lost their wings

There are things I can't explain
Why tornadoes love the plains
Why the city quiets at dawn
Why I couldn't stop my tears


10.Out If Sight And Snowblind

I watch the lights on the ocean
I count the leaves on the trees
If it wasn't for your indecision
There'd be nothing between you and me

I catch your eye - it's a showdown
Anticipate your every move
Purposely find contradiction
Escalate nothing to prove

Instants of calm fly by mocking
All poking fun at a smile
She pulls a face in the mirror
Lately it's just not our style

Losing control to stay under
Fighting and screaming down walls
Worry has made you a martyr
Washed up and left for the birds


11.Almost Sleeping

I'm not talking anymore
All the skins of the words fell off in my hands
If i told you & showed you you'd laugh

I'm not trying anymore
All my good intentions fell out of my hands
If i told you & showed you you'd laugh

You're always right when i'm lonely
I can fake it so long only

Lose track of days whiling away
I don't have strength to get away
Lose track of days whiling away
I don't have strength to get away

I thought it would be so easy
That i didn't need to worry i'm safe inside your hands
Why'd i listen why'd i fall for that

You're always right when i'm lonely
I can fake it so long only
You're always right when i'm lonely
I can take it so long only

I'm not talking anymore
All the skins of the words fell off in my hands
If i told you & showed you you'd laugh
I'll stay all night when i'm lonely
I can fake it so long only
You're always right when i'm lonely
I can take it so long only

Lose track of days whiling away
I don't have strength to get away
Lose track of days whiling away
I don't have strength to get away
