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?

Lightning flashes across the sky
Like a thief in the night
You see the world by candlelight

Bridge:

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

Bridge:

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

This is the rise and fall

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
