[Intro]
D    Bm G
[Verse]
We left in Drocket ships, just like the cartoon strips,
or movie Bmscripts we've seen up on proGjection screens
We Dleft the earth for a new place of worth 
that we could Bmcall our own, without reGsistance no
[Chorus]
And we'll stay Bmup all night before we Gsleep all day 
and forDget about our planet, blown away
Cause it's just Bmme and you and a small Grobot crew 
that serves us Etea for two in the Gorbit of the moon
[Instrumental] (x2)
D      Bm   G
[Verse]
We've got just Dtwo months time before rescue arrives, 
our crimes are Bmleft behind, we've all got Gpeace of mind
So Dwhy should we subject ourselves to the rigor and Bmdrudgery of a new Gworld
[Chorus]
When we could just stay Bmup all night before we Gsleep all day 
and forDget about our planet, blown away
Cause it's just Bmme and you and a small Grobot crew 
that serves us Etea for two in the Gorbit of the moon

[Intro]

D Bm G

[Verse]

We left in rocket ships, just like the cartoon strips,

Bm G

or movie scripts we've seen up on projection screens

We left the earth for a new place of worth

Bm G

that we could call our own, without resistance no

[Chorus]

Bm G

And we'll stay up all night before we sleep all day

and forget about our planet, blown away

Bm G

Cause it's just me and you and a small robot crew

E G

that serves us tea for two in the orbit of the moon

[Instrumental] (x2)

D Bm G

[Verse]

We've got just two months time before rescue arrives,

Bm G

our crimes are left behind, we've all got peace of mind

D Bm G

So why should we subject ourselves to the rigor and drudgery of a new world

[Chorus]

Bm G

When we could just stay up all night before we sleep all day

and forget about our planet, blown away

Bm G

Cause it's just me and you and a small robot crew

E G

that serves us tea for two in the orbit of the moon

[Solo]
