Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's go away for a while
You and I, to a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
[Chorus]
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday
Far away, let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
[Verse 2]
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map, we won't need them where we're going
We're going where the wind is blowing
Not knowing where we're gonna stay
[Chorus]
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday
Far away, let's go today
In a heartbeat!
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
[Bridge]
We'll write a postcard to our friends
And family in free verse
We will write a postcard to our friends (On the road with Kerouac)
And family in free verse
We will write a postcard to our friends (Sheltered in his bivouac)
On this road, we'll never die (And family in free verse)
[Chorus]
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
[Verse 3]
Let's go away for a while
You and I, to a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
[Chorus]
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holi—
[Outro]
Let's go away (—day, far away)
Let's go away (To stay, on a holiday)
Let's go away (Far away)
Just let's go away (In a heartbeat!)
