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
