Wives in Orbit

From Red Krayola Wiki

Lyrics

The sun comes out the moon goes in No longer where we need it One minute, red nails scratching along nylon Next minute, trace her little eyebrow, the sun comes in The moon goes in, no longer where we need them

Wives in orbit Wives in orbit Wives in orbit Wives in orbit

Poetry is depressing me, depressing me, depressing me Appropriating destiny, destiny, destiny Wanting to grow up, wanting to get hooked up Wanting to drink family-sized

Wives in orbit (wives in orbit) Wives in orbit (wives in orbit) Wives in orbit (wives in orbit) Orbit, orbit, orbit, orbit (wives in orbit)

Going 'round and looking down Orbits through the tops of heads Beams and forces have battered them off courses Implements of torture, build the memory Satellites and flying guns, stations and platforms Satellites and flying guns, stations and platforms And launch-launching pads, launch-launch-launching pads

What a mess, oh what a mess What a mess, oh what a mess What a mess, oh what a mess (wives in orbit) What a mess, oh what a mess (wives in orbit) What a mess, oh what a mess (wives in orbit) What a mess, oh what a mess (wives in orbit) What a mess, oh what a mess, oh what a mess Oh what a mess, oh what a mess oh what a mess, oh what a mess...
