Good friends will part sometimes
That's just the way it goes
Don't waste your life banging on
Doors that have been closed

Sometimes the ones you trust the most
Will let you down
Life doesn't hold back
When it's kicking you around

You've lived a little, loved a little
Tasted bitter heartache
You've got to just forget the ones who hurt you
For your own sake

If they can't see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate

Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Don't let it get you down!

The world is such a scary place
When you're alone
You're on an empty stage
You got no microphone

But don't you hide behind the curtains
In the wings
Step out into the lights and
Let 'em hear you sing

You've laughed a little, cried a little
Now you know the dangers
You've seen so many faces once familiar
Turn to strangers

If they can't see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate

Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh!
Don't let it get you down!

Please don't let it shut you out
There is always more

If they can't see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate

(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Good friends will part sometimes now
(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Good friends will part sometimes now
(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Before your sadness turns to hate

Evacuate!
