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
