Poor Atlantis
Walk with me beside the sea
The fishes agree: if you think life's a game be more of a player
And I'll suspend my disbelief as, equivocally, you whisper, "whatever", you romantic
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that wash on the shore
But it's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
You're dealing in the substance-less, Baby, I guess
Just peddling hope to the hopeless
And, when there's nothing left to say I'll just walk away
'Cos I couldn't care less
For the frantic
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that wash on the shore
But it's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
Perhaps 4000 years ago, I don't really know
Santorini explodes and they start sacrificing the young and the fragile
To an angry, sea-god, minotaur, in a shrine by the shore, but now we're more subtle when we do this
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that rot on the shore
It's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
The fishes agree: if you think life's a game be more of a player
And I'll suspend my disbelief as, equivocally, you whisper, "whatever", you romantic
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that wash on the shore
But it's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
You're dealing in the substance-less, Baby, I guess
Just peddling hope to the hopeless
And, when there's nothing left to say I'll just walk away
'Cos I couldn't care less
For the frantic
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that wash on the shore
But it's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
Perhaps 4000 years ago, I don't really know
Santorini explodes and they start sacrificing the young and the fragile
To an angry, sea-god, minotaur, in a shrine by the shore, but now we're more subtle when we do this
Poor Atlantis, washed away in a day, something I meant to say, then I said it much too late
You're such a poor Atlantis: closed amusements and ice-cream stalls: shards of treasure that rot on the shore
It's a good enough place to stay when you're waiting for a tidal wave
Waiting for a tidal wave
