Atlantis

If I was Atlantis and you were the sea

I'd sneak up behind you and break your knees

I'd cut off your fingers and both of your feet

So you couldn't reach me, but you couldn't leave

If I was a painter, if I was brave

I'd hang up a canvas and give it a name

I'd call it The Future and just leave it blank

Get high off the fumes and die in the paint

It's overdramatic, yeah, I know

Somebody cast me in a TV show

Where I play an addict, a drunken romantic

Always reaching for another drink

But after a season I'd get replaced

By some asshole with a bettеr face

But I'll steal the costumе on my way out

And I'll wear it when we go dancing

Wipe all the makeup off of your face

We can turn off the lights if it makes you feel safe

I learned about love in American cars

A rusted-out frame and a lot of spare parts

But there in the backseat, freezing cold

Just barely seventeen years old

I saw the dragon and I gave chase

A perfect example of a hopeless case

And every doctor that drew my blood

Could find no explanation

Maybe it's a virus, maybe it's love

Or just my imagination

If I was Atlantis and you were the sea

I'd sneak up behind you and set you free
