Donovan - Atlantis Lyrics
The continent of Atlantis was an islandWhich lay before the great floodIn the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.So great an area of land,That from her western shoresThose beautiful sailors journeyedTo the South and the North Americas with ease,In their ships with painted sails.To them East Africa was a neighbour,Across a short strait of sea miles.The great Egyptian age isBut a remnant of The Atlantian culture.The antediluvian kings colonised the worldAll the Gods who play in the mythological dramasIn all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.Knowing her fate,Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.On board were the Twelve:The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist,The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.Though Gods they were -And as the elders of our time choose to remain blindLet us rejoiceAnd let us singAnd dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis!Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,I wanna see you some dayMy antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,My antediluvian baby,My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,Girl, I wanna see you some day.My antediluvian baby, oh yeahI wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby.My antediluvian baby, I wanna see youMy antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she goneI wanna see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,oh yeah Oh club club, down down, yeahMy antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
