Ataris - all you can ever learn is what you already know (in album So Long As LYRICS

is this how it was intended???

the sunrise over smokestacks in the Midwest

the beauty of this abandoned factory.

Christmas lights blinking on and off

all out of time in what used to be

your pink house dreams

of a middle class America.



i'm trying to, beleive in you

but all these satellites and

shattered dreams are

blocking out my veiw.

please don't forget,

who you really are,

cause nothing really

matters when we're gone.



fell in love with his Keno waitress,

the honeymooned in Memphis,

they were married by the drive-up window.

Trailor parks, neon signs,

and an empty box of Lucky Strikes

all used up on the

dashboard of America,



i'm trying to, beleive in you

this world has sold it's faith

for parking lots and drunk sincerity,

please don't forget who you really are,

nothing really matters when we're



you'll be saddened to know

the train tracks you once walked,

as a young boy, are now

nothing but a grave yard.



please don't forget,

how small we really are,

cuz nothing really matters

when we're gone...

i'm trying to beleive in you.
