You crawl in a cave like a shy baby
Hiding smiles and those cold eyes
Singing in a storm where no one hears you
Going unnoticed with that pretty face
All your words have been unsaid
But we remember them from a dream
And we sit around the table
Competing for your glance
You sit there so gloomy
With no smile on your face
Colonising complex locations
You’re the first to reach the skies
Cutting through our signals
Beating us all to space
We’ve lost again, trailing your advance
We stand back at home with our eyes above
At the flashing colours of the night
And we see you sputnik dancing amongst the stars
Oh you seem so artificial
As you spy on the world
With all your enemies one step behind you
Calling on the countdown
She takes our pictures
With the prints in her hands
That smile so far and rare
It only lasts for seconds
She leaves the world tainted
On arrival a tail of life
Fixated on what we can’t comprehend
Her power a painted barrier
In our minds we fight each other
Contestants competing to lose
None of us can win
We are just a thorn in her side
She’s nothing when she’s something
Her sighs heard across the globe
The audience will sit to obey her command
You sail in the darkness
We can only see you on earth
As you fly above us
Looking at the world’s faults
We cry when you’re gone
We know you can’t see us
You complete your orbit
And come visit us when you like
We’ll be waiting sputnik
