Atlantis Songtext

von Jackson Jackson

This life can seem a little short
This morning stretches on forever
This town it never seems to end
This sun seems like it's gonna burn forever
I'm leaving on the open road
With my books and my suitcase and some ammo
I'm leaving the world today
I'm heading for tomorrow
I'm going to a place full of tomatoes and basil leaves
And buffalo mozzarella
I'm going to a place where the mosquitos
Inject you with LSD
And make you feel better
And the weather is fine
And the girls are all mine
But you can come too
Down to the blue
Atlantis
Atlantis
We'll sink beneath the waves
The blue goes on forever
Oh you can hold my hand
Beneath the stormy weather
And the shadow of the ships shrink away
We go down into the dark
To where the giant snakes
Lie sleeping in the water
We're going to a place where the TV stations play 70s arthouse movies 24/7
Where politicians work in the valley
Growing the green peas, growing the corn for everyone
And the girls are all fine
And the weather is mine
And you'll be there too
Down in the blue
Atlantis
Atlantis
Atlantis
Keep on keep on keep on swimming
I'll keep on keep on keep on swimming
Where the light has never shone
There's beautiful beautiful flowers
At the bottom of the sea
You'll see the ancient towers
And as the last little breaths slip away
You arrive before the gates
To where the giant snakes
Lie sleeping in the water
