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
