The Ataris are a punk rock band from Anderson, Indiana formed in 1995. The band originally consisted of singer/songwriter/guitarist Kris Roe and guitarist Jasin Thomason. Using a 4-Track, they wrote and recorded demos in Kris's bedroom, with a drum machine as the drummer. At this point in time the band was searching for a full-time drummer. The first step in their road to success came when Kris attended a The Vandals concert at Bogart's in Cincinnati, where he passed one of the demo tapes to The Vandals' roadie Fitz.

Verse 1: GC I traveled to each road and the end of the earth GC With no where else to go I looked back in amazement EmDC When I finally realized how farther I had actually gone EmDC I was still standing in the same place that I started AmCmG Till I found out and I cried out that there was silence Em/EbCm a definite silence... more brilliant than any---thing
Chorus: G And there was a bird with feathers brightest red and it spoke At least that what you saw EmAmCm I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning G And I heard her sing the sweetest cry as if she wanted to reach down Em And tell me that it would be all right AmCm And tell me it would be alright
Interlude: G--C
Verse 2: GC I walked out and stared into the golden sun GC I was blinded by an endless timeless beauty EmEm/EbG till i found out and I cried out that there was silence Em/EbCm a definite silence... more brilliant than any---thing
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: EmG For the strangetops, sent an angel Em What they sound in have a burden G These footsteps ever changing Am I could ride all times of your hindrance Cm you close your eyes and we meet again
