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
