It 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 are you going to now?



(Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . .)

Lightning flashes across the sky

East to west, do or die.

Like a thief in the night

We see the world by candlelight



(Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . .)

In an apartment on Times Square

You can assemble them anywhere

Held to ransom, hell to pay

A revolution everyday

U.S.S.R., D.D.R., London, New York, Peking

It's the puppets, it's the puppets who pull the strings



Say goodbye, say goodbye

It takes a second to say goodbye

Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye



(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

And they want you to sing along

Say goodbye, say goodbye
