lyrics

Atlas Drops the Ball
(Dixia Cheng, 1969/2008)

Everybody’s going underground
They're cashing in, they’re digging down
‘Cause it took too long to make them understand
To pull their heads out of the sand
Now I’m going crazy from the heat
But here we are, so cling to me like cellophane
In your room down the hall
While Atlas drops the ball

Everyone pretended to be blind
They wouldn’t see the warning signs
So no one thought to take back all the fighting words they said
The lines are broken, the tribe has spoken
Now being there’s not what it used to be
The will to love, the thrill is gone
And I see ghosts that I never used to see

I used to count the stars
I once believed I was a small piece of the puzzle
A long note held on Ziggy’s red guitar
I used to see through you,
The colours that surround us,
All the energy, (dissolving now)
The unexploded view
I used to dream in blue
