Bound together by doomsday chains
Little monkey creatures run through this twisted plain
Chasing a messiah that never came
Drenched in the sorrow of this evil pain
They question not this endless search
What has value and how much is it worth
They can not be saved from this eternal curse
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me the pain of growing old
In this dark, dark night that's always so cold
Escape with me from everything that hurts
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Give me, give me one last kiss
That's all that I'll miss
When I leave this world
When I leave this world
When I leave this world
Tomorrow, tomorrow when we're gone
Everyone will carry on
They'll forget this song
Tomorrow when we're gone
The time is late, but then it always was
I charge my brain with an electric buzz
Suddenly there's a violent lurch
Together we'll escape from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth…
Little monkey creatures run through this twisted plain
Chasing a messiah that never came
Drenched in the sorrow of this evil pain
They question not this endless search
What has value and how much is it worth
They can not be saved from this eternal curse
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me the pain of growing old
In this dark, dark night that's always so cold
Escape with me from everything that hurts
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Give me, give me one last kiss
That's all that I'll miss
When I leave this world
When I leave this world
When I leave this world
Tomorrow, tomorrow when we're gone
Everyone will carry on
They'll forget this song
Tomorrow when we're gone
The time is late, but then it always was
I charge my brain with an electric buzz
Suddenly there's a violent lurch
Together we'll escape from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth
Escape with me from the Planet Earth…

Traccia che dà il titolo al secondo ed ultimo album di questi “Gatti Randagi” californiani
Il brano viene con una certa ragione riconosciuto come uno dei più grandiosi pezzi punk-rock della storia
“La fuga dal pianeta Terra che tentano gli Alley Cats è purtroppo solo metaforica, come tutti noi anche loro sono costretti a rimanerci, ma su questa terribile condizione – una moderna presa di coscienza della alienazione industriale (uno dei temi portanti della new wave fra l’altro), gli Alley Cats ci costruiranno un sound unico e irripetibile.” (Genericamentegiuseppe, sul suo blog Una volta ho suonato il sassofono)
