Atlas Marker (aviator) (live) -- With Bill Frisell Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

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 

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' 'n' Marker 

You walk into school like you got nothin' to win 

They won't let you in without Atlas' 'n' Marker 

Ooh, my sister's buried here so deep 

I hear her digging in her sleep 

Somewhere better than his place 

Sometimes she closes her eyes 

She's out in space 

Somewhere better than the world where we live
