We're leaving together
 But still it's farewell
 And maybe [bad word] back
 To earth, who can tell
 I guess there is no one to blame
 We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
 Will things ever be the same again

 It's the final countdown
 the final countdown

 We're heading for Venus 
 and still we stand tall
 'cause maybe they've seen us 
 and [bad word] us all
 With so many light years to go 
 and things to be found (to be found)
 I'm sure that we'll all miss her so...
 It's the final countdown
 the final countdown...
