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?      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?      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
