Darling please, let's get out of here 
On a train to who-knows-where 
I got a feeling that I can't explain 
We have to leave this place, we won't go back again 

Getting tired of landscapes, were just floating 
Rolling past the grey estates 
Oh oh, oh oh 

We'll put the fire in your stomach out 
Movie tans all across your mouth 
Up through the window, the neon sing 
It blinks the telegraphs that don't mean a thing 

And we crawl on to our destination 
Rolling past the grey estates 
Oh oh, oh oh 

Rushing through a new world 
A new world, a new world, 
It's just a minute away 

So let the needle on the compass swing 
Let the iron in your heart's blood ring 
Strike up the band as the ship goes down 
And if it's loud enough it will erase the sound 

Of a hundred thousand sad inventions 
Let them rot inside the grey estate 
Oh oh - oh oh 

Rushing through a new world 
A new world, a new world, 
It's just a minute away 

I'm half-awake and the world is ending 
All across the border just a minute away 
I'm half-awake and the world is ending 
Across the border just a minute, just a minute away
