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

Oh, 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

When the time, it comes, we'll escape

When the big one finally hits 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

When the time comes, we'll escape

(Oh, we'll escape)

(Oh, we'll 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

When the time, when it comes, we'll escape, (we'll escape,) we'll escape
