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.
