Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away 
I'm floating into this inescapable bliss

Changing light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
I'm needing you, I just don't care anymore

Good boys never win
Good boys always fallow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Fear of flight 
I'm so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
I'm walking but my feet are never touching the ground

Good boys never win
Good boys always fallow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Eyes wide in the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the L 'til the sun comes up again

You got me on your face
A big disgrace
Shakin' your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. Marks Avenue

What a pity for you

Blondie

Blondie is an American rock band, founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American New Wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including "Call Me", "Atomic" and "Heart of Glass" and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco,pop,rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a New Wave band. more »
