D#m7
D#m7
Takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
D#m7
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye
D#m7
Where you going to now
D#m7
Lightning flashes across the sky, east to west, do or die
D#m7
Like a thief in the night, see the world by candlelight
C# B C# B
Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...
D#m7
In an apartment on Time Square you can assemble them anywhere
D#m7
Held to ransom, hell to pay, a revolution everyday
D#m7
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
D#m7
It's the puppets, it's the puppets who pull the strings
C# B C# B
Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...
D#m7
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye
[Break]
D#m7
It takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
D#m7
Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
C# B C# B
Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...
D#m7
And they're doing the atomic bomb,
D#m7
They know where the dance comes from
D#m7
Yes they're doing the atomic bomb
D#m7
They want you to sing along
D#m7
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye
