The Genie Lyrics by Gray Thomas

Atlantis

2020

To be there, to be cared for
Were the wishes on his tongue
So when the genie popped up
His heart went (bump bump)
And he took a chance
And took the plunge

A used-up rag, lived in a plastic bag
In the garage of any high-class home
It only took one chance
To make him break his romance
With working every day
And going gray
And all he had to say was

Send me far away
Someplace I can stay
While I work out all the
Kinks and the bumps
Implanted into my brain
Eight hours a day
That unrеlenting cracking whip
Only a joint or a trip
Would take me out of my hazе
But now I let my wishes slip
And I’m gone

To be there and to be cared for
Were the wishes on my tongue
And when that god-forsaken
Genie popped up
My heart nearly stopped

(Send me back)

Send me back today
I can’t stand to stay
On the island
All alone anymore
Implanted into my brain
Are the clouds and the rain
From which I no longer
Feel any pain
Please genie
Send me back today

I wonder if they miss me
