why don´t we give it a try,

everybody´s waiting to see.

if i´m calling you

or if you´re calling me.

it´s the same, oh why can´t they see.

and chart out a course out for mars.

i could take you there

or you could take me here

it´s a game, oh why can´t they see.

1st chorus

let´s make the great escape

and get out of this place.

straight to outer space

where we can be alone, yeah.

i look myself in the eye

and ask myself why.

i could take you here

and you could take me there.

it´s the same, oh why can´t they see.

2nd chorus

let´s make the great escape

and get out of this place

let´s make the great escape

and get on out of this place.

straight to outer space

where we can be alone

straight to outer space

where we can have a home
