Escape Velocity

Seen enough rock shows to put me to sleep
Watched enough TV to make the average person weep
When everybody's getting on my case
Disconnect, push eject, and blast off into space

Escape velocity is all that I need
Escape velocity, think I can achieve
With enough force and aerodynamics

There's too many folks in this town
Sunny day, they all say, "Let's go drive around"
Why doesn't anybody ever walk?
It'll take an hour just to drive a single city block

Escape velocity will take me away
Escape velocity just might save the day
Escape velocity is all that I need
Escape velocity, think I can achieve
With enough force and aerodynamics

It isn't every day that I could stand it
But once in awhile, I feel the need to leave the planet
Ahead of my time and behind you all the way
But one more thing will send me off to keep the dogs at bay

Escape velocity will take me away
Escape velocity just might save the day
Escape velocity is all that I need
Escape velocity, think I can achieve
With enough force and aerodynamics
