"New Atlantis" lyrics - IGGY POP

[Intro:]
Somewhere south of Alabama and north of Cuba
There lies a beautiful whore of a city
She accepts all donations and attracts
An endless stream of lovers
Colombian pushers and murderers
American swindlers and Slavic thugs
Because here, a man can be himself
But now, she's sinking into the sea

[Chorus:]
New Atlantis, lying low (Lying low)
New Atlantis, sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

[Interlude:]
As her doom became apparent
Her magic only accelerated
Because people are desperate
For love and beauty

You and I are designed for love
Love, there's no chance of
The Earth is ready to detonate
In a fire of imperial emptiness

[Chorus:]
New Atlantis, lying low (Lying low)
New Atlantis, sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
New Atlantis, lying low (Lying low)
New Atlantis, sinking slow (Sinking slow)

[Outro:]
Some say the world will end in fire
Some say ice
Me, I just see fewer birds, fish, butterflies
Plenty of concrete though
I run to Europe, I run to The Caribbean
But coming here is the best thing I ever did
Miami, I love you
