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



At night I look at the stars

And chart 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



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 tak you here

And you could take me there

It's the same, oh why can't they see



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
