[Verse 1]
Every few thousand years
Come true man's greatest fears
All the livin' things, Mother Nature brings
To tears

[Verse 2]
When the bombs are bursting in the air
And the rockets are making that red glare
I'm headin' down, down to that good hope town
Where the weather's fair

[Chorus]
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
And when the time comes, we'll escape

[Verse 3]
When the big one finally hits LA
When Yellowstone has its day
We're headin' to the southern tip on a plane or on a ship
We'll do what it takes, we'll find a way

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
And when the time comes, we'll escape

[Bridge]
Oh, come away with me, and we'll escape
Oh, come away with me, and we'll escape

[Chorus]
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
And when the time comes, we'll escape, we'll escape
