CRaindrops are falling,    the EmCarnival’s calling
   OutsFide they’re shivering in the wCind
The tCeardrops in your face,    they Emsay: “It’s the wrong place
   to sFtay and to wait for the spGring.”
You Dmsay to yourself: “Some tAmhings are going wrong.”
So lCisten to the Emvoice that is sFinging this sCong.
Refrain
Take oFff – destiGnation  -  Cnowhere, C/HeverywAmhere
Take oFff – you’re lGeaving, noCbody is C/Hwaiting hAmere
Take oFff – to a nGew place, where Ceverything C/His clear and Amtrue
Take oFff – and take the pGlane to your XanadCoo
You gather some clothes, your heart it is frozen
   You need someone to keep it warm
Like often before you are closing the door
   ‘cause the taxi is blowing its horn
On the way to the airport you see the empty streets
But you’re looking forward here is noone to meet
Refrain …
You fasten your seatbelt, and forget how you felt
   Your plane is ready to start
When the plan is taking off, the sun shines above
   and the stewardess’ smile appears smart
White mountains of clouds are covering the past
And you’re on your way to your own Mardy Grass
Refrain …
