Takes a second to say goodbye

Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

It takes a second to say goodbye

Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye...

Where you going to now...

Lightning flashes across the sky

East to west, do or die

Like a thief in the night

See the world by candlelight.

Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and...

In an apartment on Time Square

You can assemble them anywhere

Held to ransom, hell to pay

A revolution everyday

USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking

It’s the puppets, It’s the puppets

Who pull the strings

Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and...

Say goodbye, say goodbye

Say goodbye, say goodbye

Say goodbye

It takes a second to say goodbye

Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

Push the button and pull the plug

Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

Fall, rise and...Fall, rise and...

And they’re doing the atomic bomb

Do they know where the dance comes from

Yes they’re doing the atomic bomb

They want you to sing along

Say goodbye, say goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye.
