lyrics

Stick to you like a satellite
Fixed in its orbit, I surround you
A blinking arc of light, in the sky at night

Love's the stimulant of all calamity
Sentimentality is my insanity, I know
I know, but I keep turning on

Dreamed that you slipped away, far away
I woke up calling your name
Yeah, but I keep turning on

You could go now and run
A supernova of the sun
But don't you go

Don't you go
And don't you leave
We are bound together by our gravity
Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free
Don't you go (set them free) no don't you go (set them free)

I keep turning on
I keep turning on
I keep turning on
I keep turning on

I stick to you
I orbit you
A black hole void that I'm falling into
A starless abiding night

Compulsion it is pulling down
My propulsion fading it's losing ground
Compulsion, it is pulling down
I try to avoid but I can't get out no

Go now, go now
You could go now you could go now, you could go now

But don't you go
And don't you leave
We are bound together by our gravity
Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free

No don't you go
And don't you leave
We are fatal bodies in the galaxy
Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free

Our gravity (set them free)
Our gravity (set them free)
Our gravity (set them free)
