Atlas’ Marker Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
Maybe you want another world
One where heaven doesnt weigh so much
Maybe youll find another girl
One you can feel when you do not touch
Well Ive got something
Warm inside me
It wont let you fall
til I see
Somewhere better than this place
Some night youll open your eyes and live far away
Somewhere better than the world
Im an aviator now
Atlas hold me in your arms, Ill fly
Over this tenement waterfall
This wet buries all the tears weve cried
I dream of you coming to me
Swimming in a water
Of many hearts Ive known
Beneath new stars theyre calling
Somewhere better than this place
Oh! dont stay at home with your momma in the dark
Go find the arc
Show them the atlas marker
You walk into school like you got nothin to win
They wont let you in without atlas marker
Oh, my sisters buried here so deep
I hear her digging in her sleep
Somewhere better than his place
Sometimes she closes her eyes
And shes out in space
Somewhere better than the world where we live
