lyrics

Let's buy a boat and sail away
Up to Alaska where we'll watch the ice melt away
We'll build our home up on a dream
A perfect paradise where you're the king and I'm the queen

I'll paint a picture out of dust
And decorate our living room with photographs of us
Don't you know this dream ain't ours
We're just two kids, trying to smoke a big cigar, so

Leave your sweater in a drawer we aren't going where the weather's cool
Some say cold
It's too warm outside, I've heard you three times maybe four

Let's steal a plane and fly somewhere
They'll never catch us just as long as we stay in the air
We'll bring all our food on board
And all the water that we need to make the garden grow

I'll be the captain of our plane
You'll be the flight attendant all our passengers can blame, say
"Sir I need another drink or two or three"
Oh don't you wish, this wasn't all a fantasy, so

Leave your spacesuit hung up dry I'm not quite ready to make flight
Out of here
I could use another year or two of gravity to keep me down before we go

Away, together
Away, forever
Away, away

Let's buy a boat and sail away
Up to Alaska where we'll watch the ice melt away
