Black and blue I chose my way
I, the candid castaway,
in a way delayed
by one more broken season to find reason for appeasing you
And so I found my guiding light
flambant, flashing, red and white
through a starry night
I'm better nowhere bound than drowning on your solid ground

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

All in all I fare the same
wishing on an aeroplane
as calling stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
in hope of someone listening
And so I send my feeble flare
through the silent, arctic air
heading anywhere
until at last I've finally found
a place to lay my anchor down

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting all alone
You never know
Never never

Heaven help me
I'm drowning and I can't save me
Send some salvation
to keep me alive

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
