Airplanes and satellites light up the evenin' sky
So bright the stars don't gotta shine
Airplanes and satellites
When I was a boy
You know my momma would say to me
The world's a mystery of darkness and light
When I was a kid
I would stare off into space
To escape the evil place I was livin' in
When I was alone
I would close my eyes at night
Floating in imaginary light with the moon and stars
But I remember
Livin' in the streets
My heart would drift away into the night
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
You know my momma said boy
She said baby baby baby baby
baby boy listen to what I say
You know that evil won't go away
It won't go away
But I look up in the sky
It ain't cluttered with the stars
Crazy lights and flying cars
Shine on me
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
When I was a boy
I remember livin' in the streets
My heart would drift away into the night
When I'd wake up
I could look up in the sky
Hoping that god's eye would shine on me
Yeah yeah
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
In the sky in the sky in the sky in the sky
They got the planes and satellites
Yeah planes and satellites
Whoa whoa
