A flower for your vanity, a penny for your thoughts

About the world's insanity and how we've gotten lost

Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by

And fake a smile as we all say goodbye



Goodbye, oh goodbye



Say a prayer for recognition, kiss the ones you love

Gather up the ammunition, sigh for all the lost

Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by

And fake a smile as we all say goodbye



Raise a glass for ignorance, drink a toast to fear

The beginning of the end has come that's why we all are here

Strike up the band to play a song and try hard not to cry

And fake a smile as we all say goodbye

Goodbye
