Rickie Lee Jones - Atlas' Marker lyrics

Maybe you want another world One where heaven doesn't weigh so much Maybe you'll find another girl One you can feel when you do not touch Well i've got something Warm inside me It won't let you fall 'til i see Somewhere better than this place Some night you'll open your eyes and live far away Somewhere better than the world I'm an aviator now Atlas hold me in your arms, i'll fly Over this tenement waterfall This wet buries all the tears we've cried I dream of you coming to me Swimming in a water Of many hearts i've known Beneath new stars they're calling Somewhere better than this place Oh! don't 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 won't let you in without atlas' marker Oh, my sister's buried here so deep I hear her digging in her sleep Somewhere better than his place Sometimes she closes her eyes And she's out in space Somewhere better than the world where we live
