(Ten, nine)
(Eight, seven, six, five)
(Four, three, two, one)
We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come 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
Oh
We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
Oh
The final countdown, oh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
Yeah
(Eight, seven, six, five)
(Four, three, two, one)
We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come 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
Oh
We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
Oh
The final countdown, oh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
It's the final countdown
Yeah

Hopefully, humans will find another suitable planet in another solar system much sooner than 4,999,999,999 years from now. "Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all." And humans will emigrate away from Earth by choice or necessity. There will be a "Final Countdown" for many people who want to move the new place or just check-out which planet is better ("and maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell?").
I think the song could be about a earth couple on their way out to explore and find other species. The line "Maybe they've seen us and welcome us all" underscores the point that maybe another species already knows of us and are waiting for humans to take the next jump. "The Final Countdown" being the amount of time before they leave the solar system.
I don't know. Maybe I've just had too much beer every time I listen to this group...but it always sounds like their songs have a sci-fi feeling to them.
Anybody agree?

- Boy meets girls and experience something out of this world
But still it's farewell
- Make a commitment to each other saying good bye to single life
And maybe we'll come back
- Their heads & hearts are in the clouds with each other's love right now
To earth, who can tell?
- It might not last cause nothing is guaranteed i n love & life?
I guess there is no one to blame
- The heart wants what it wants - their heart have chosen each other.
We're leaving ground
- They know they share each other's love & commit.
Will things ever be the same again?
- Wonders about what the future will bring?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
- They're getting married, the countdown to the day has begun!
Ohh
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
- Venus is the goddess of love & they make a commitment to each other
'Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all, yea
- Although uncertain of the future perhaps this was meant to be!
With so many light years to go and things to be found
(To be found)
- Marriage is just the start of their journey together & and many new challenges lay a head.
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
- For single people with single life choices changes the people & life we share.
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
- They're getting married!
- The countdown to the day has begun!
