Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This world, it is not safe
We must make plans to leave this place
We'll build a colony
On nearby planets known to me
[Verse 2]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to all the ones I'll miss
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to war and politics
[Verse 3]
No time to warn your friends
That they'll stay here and meet their ends
Sneak up without a trace
And start a brand new human race
[Verse 4]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to all the ones I'll miss
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to war and politics
[Verse 5]
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
[Verse 6]
This world, it is not safe
We must make plans to leave this place
We'll build a colony
On nearby planets known to me
[Verse 7]
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried to warn them, it's too late
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll try my luck in outer space
[Verse 8]
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
[Verse 9]
We won't need a doctor, won't need a scientist
We won't need an army or a TV
We'll just need you and me
[Verse 10]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 11]
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
Farewell rocketship
[Verse 12]
We won't need an army or a TV
We'll just need you and me
