Atlantis - 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
