Every few thousand years
Come true man's greatest fears
All the living things
Mother nature brings to tears

When the bombs are bursting in the air
And the rockets are making that red glare
I'm heading down
Down to that good hope town where the weather's fair

So why don't you come away
With me, my love?
We'll do what it takes
I'll keep you safe
Why don't you stay by me?
And when the time comes
We will escape

When the big one finally hit's LA
When Yellowstone has its day
We're heading to the southern tip
On a plane or on a ship
We'll do what it takes, we'll find a way

And if that cloud forms up above
No sign anywhere of a dove
There'll be no reason left to stay
We'll try and live another day
In a place where there's still love 

So why don't you come away
With me, my love?
We'll do what it takes
I'll keep you safe
Why don't you stay by me?
And when the time comes
We will escape

Oh, we will escape
Oh, we will escape

So why don't you come away
With me, my love?
We'll do what it takes
I'll keep you safe
Why don't you stay by me?
And when the time comes
We will escape
