Lyrics:

This life can seem a little short

This morning stretches on forever

This town seems like it's never gonna end

The 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 headed 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 mosquitoes inject you with LSD

And make you feel better

And the weather is fine

And the girls are all mine

And you can come too

Down in the blue

Atlantis, Atlantis.

Atlantis, Atlantis.

We'll sink beneath the waves

This blue goes on forever

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 art-house movies 24/7

Where the 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, Atlantis.

Oh, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on swimming.

Oh, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

K-keep on swimming

Oh, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

K-keep on swimming

Keep on swimming

(Come on down)

(Come on, come on, come on)

(Come on down)

(Come on, come on, come on)

(Come on down)

(Come on, come on, come on)

(Come on down)

Where the light has never shone

There's beautiful, beautiful flowers

At the bottom of the sea

You'll find the ancient towers

And the last little breath slips away

You arrive before the gates

To where giant snakes

Lie sleeping in the water
