The train lurched along the dirty old tracks
Filled with dirty people with dirty old sacks
All of their dreams were about to take shape
And they sang
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
It's the great escape
The train gathered speed as it moved on ahead
It was bound for glory, at least that's what they said
Well you can come and join us if ain't no demimonde
They sang
Here comes, here comes, here comes
Here comes, here comes, here comes
The great beyond
There will be good times when we reach our destination
It will be like a life on permanent vacation
There is no freakin' bureaucracy, there is no red tape
So come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
It's the great escape
