lyrics

Atlas
Atlas holds the heavens
So you and I can go
And drive around and talk about
The stupid things we talk about
The rust in the machinery
The ghost of industry
Has dirtied up the scenery
And brought you to a low

But if his knees should buckle
And if his will should break
And if it brings you trouble
I’ll gladly take his place
If it could keep you safe from harm
If it could keep you safe from harm

Atlas holds the heavens
So you and I can go
Out for a beer and I can jeer
The team that you came down to cheer
But all these rows of houses
Will one day start to creak
And I’ll stay around this barren town
In case you have to leave

But if his knees should buckle
And if his will should break
And if it brings you trouble
I’ll gladly take his place
If it could keep you safe from harm
If it could keep you safe from harm

On the atlas that I bought him
Once he’s seen the news
He runs his finger on the maps along the latitudes
