Lyrics
The Getaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The moon is on the bright side
But we've thought of everything
Send the word to the prisoners
Tonight, we get away
When you hear the signs of confusion
Come drifting through the door
Get your belongings together
Don't leave nothing behind
And hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side
Head for the wall and get away
We're sick and tired of hearing
That the world is gonna blow
So there's something we'll do to the leaders
Before we go
Let's stick-'em in a room together
Yeah-
And make them fight it out
Until they see, nothing from nothing
Will leave nothing at all
And hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side
Head for the wall and get away
Open the door--open the door--
let me out--I wanna go--
Das ist auch unzere welt
This is our world too
Oui c'est notre monde aussi
Hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side
Head for the wall and get away
"We'll give you anything you say"
Hey boys tonight we get away, to the other side
Head for the wall and get away
"We'll miss you more than we can say"
