Lyrics
(A cappella)
Hey satellite, up in the quiet
Burn a signal through the night
Just one bar is all I’m askin’
Make that little screen stop flashin’
[Verse 1]
That old John Deere green dot on his screen went gray at 8:05
Sal kicked the dust off the headgate on the All-American Canal drive
The air so thick you could taste the salt blowin’ in from the east
Just him and that phone, a metal prayer to a silent, metal priest
[Chorus]
Hey satellite, up in the quiet
Burn a signal through the night
Just one bar is all I’m askin’
Make that little screen stop flashin’
[Verse 2]
He’d typed it out when the world was still a solid river of light
“Te veo mañana? With the dancing girl.” A Hail Mary in the night
Now he’s walking west on the levee road to that bend past the county line
Hoping for a single drop from that digital water-line
[Chorus]
Hey satellite, up in the quiet
Burn a signal through the night
Just one bar is all I’m askin’
Make that little screen stop flashin’
[Bridge]
This water here, it doesn’t care ‘bout no line drawn in the sand
It just runs on through to thirsty fields in a forgotten land
[Outro]
A flicker of white in the August dark.
