| Verse 1-
|
| This world it is not safe,
|
| We must make plans to leave this place,
|
| We’ll build a colony,
|
| On nearby planets known to me,
|
| Bridge-
|
| Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to all the ones I’ll miss,
|
| Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to war and politics,
|
| Verse 2-
|
| No time to warn your friends,
|
| That they’ll stay here and meet their ends,
|
| Sneak up without a trace,
|
| And start a brand new human race,
|
| Bridge-
|
| Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to all the ones I’ll miss,
|
| Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to war and politics,
|
| Chorus-
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rockets ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Verse 1 again-
|
| This world it is not safe,
|
| We must make plans to leave this place,
|
| We’ll build a colony,
|
| On nearby planets known to me,
|
| Bridge-
|
| I tried, I tried, I tired, I tired, I tried to warn them it’s too late,
|
| I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try my luck in outer space,
|
| Chorus-
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rockets ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Verse 3-
|
| We won’t need a doctor; |
| we won’t need a scientist,
|
| We won’t need an army, or a TV we’ll just need you and me,
|
| Chorus-
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| Farewell rocket ship,
|
| We won’t need an army, or a TV we’ll just need you and me. |
