lyrics

I'm leaving, before the going gets rough
Make a break, get away while I can
I'm leaving, from all the bad stuff
They're never gonna find me again

I'm leaving, leaving for the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky

The journey will be hard but I'm ready for that
Packed the sledge, fur boots, most of my stash
I'll pick up the trail along the way
Keep it simple it will work out ok

I'm leaving, leaving for the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky

There used to be tracks to guide me
Where the hell's the summer snow gone?
Last time the Eskimos would try to hide me
Now there's nothing left to build their houses on


The nights are cold and the days are long
This empty land shadows my pain
I miss your touch you're the one I love
How I'd really love to see you again

My well laid plans never counted for this
There's no way a man can get by
This barren land'll make you cry
A stranger stands out against the sky

So i'm leaving, leaving the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky

Yeh i'm leaving, leaving the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky

Going back where life is easy
Drink to good times with my friends
Blend in with the cityscape
I'll never get caught again
