Atomica
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just a rock star stabbing away
I'll take the, I'll take the lead
For another day
A modern scholar
Just let me know if I sing too much
When you're head over heels
And the magic is there but
Impossible, impossible, impossible
And when the police
Take me away
Impossible, impossible
It wasn't you
It was Mothers' Day
Let's get this show on the road
Let's get Atomica
Let's rock till we explode
Let's get Atomica
Babe
Protect you from the voices
Protect from the visions
Protect you from the silence for another day
These modern people
They sure know how to live
When you're head over heels
And the magic is gone it's
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Then we shall swim in that
Covered up pool
Impossible, impossible
By the white trees dressed
In purple tuelle
Let's get this show on the road
Let's get Atomica
Let's rock till we explode
Let's get Atomica
Babe
I hold myself
Like a god
Like a god
Babe
I'm just a pop star chopping away
I'll take the the
I leave the sins for another day
A little puny
Just let me know
If I talk too much
When you're head over heels
And the magic is there but
Impossible, impossible, impossible
Then we should swim in that
Covered up pool
Impossible, impossible
By the white trees dressed
In purple tuelle
Let's get this show on the road
Let's get Atomica
Let's rock till we explode
Let's get Atomica
Babe
