The Getaway Lyrics

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 unsere Welt
This is our world too
Oui c'est nôtre 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"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
