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
