Traffic, missed train
No time for a breath now
New day, same thing
Grey desk, blank screen
Same view of the same town.
Time killing, phone ringing, day dreaming
She says that she's gonna leave someday
They tell her 'don't worry, we know it.
That's life and we all feel the same way.'
She sits and stares out the window
Hears every word they're saying
But if we all want to get out
Why do we keep on waiting?
We just gotta
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway
Fly up, ship out, go down
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta,
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway
And we'll leave them saying, ooh...
Yeah we'll leave them saying, ooh...
Friday, weekend
Get paid, pay rent
Loose change for the tax bill
Go out, same car
Same street, same bar
Same crowd since he got here.
Same talk, same nothing
Their ship's still coming
Big dreams from a bar seat
He knows it's lies, he listens and smiles
Just like he did last week.
Some nights he rolls down the windows
Drives 'till the sky is glowing
He turns back home but he wonders
What if he kept on going?
We just gotta...
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway
Fly up, ship out, go down
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway
And we'll leave them saying, ooh...
I know it's right there, I hear it
I know it's calling me
I know it's right now, I feel it
I see the getaway.
I know it's right there, I hear it
I know it's calling me
I know it's right now, I feel it
The getaway.
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway
Fly up, ship out, go down
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta
Get up, get out, get going
And make a getaway, ooh...
And make a getaway, ooh...
And make a getaway.
I wanna make my getaway, ooh...
I wanna make my getaway, ooh...
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway.
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway.
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway.
