if we go broke in kansas city

in akron or des moines

we can jump into a fountain

go swimming with the coins

 

if we get heatstroke in diego

we can sleep beneath a tree

if we get covered in a mudslide

we can go swimming in the sea

 

if we get sick in san francisco

queasy from a quake

we can move the ocean inland

to the great salt lake

 

baby

let's go anywhere but here

and maybe

this world will disappear

 

and if we're driving through the desert

straight into santa fe

maybe we'll keep moving

or maybe we'll stay, that way

 

baby

let's go anywhere but here

and maybe

this world will disappear

paint the side of the microbus

write 'alive and awake or bust'

and maybe

this world will disappear

 

paint the side of the microbus

shout 'alive and awake or bust'

and baby

this world will disappear
