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 to the stars,
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
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 to the stars,
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
