[Verse 1]
Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Say bye-bye
Where you going to now?

[Verse 2]
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight

[Refrain]
Fall, rise and...
Fall, rise and...

[Verse 3]
In an apartment on Times Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution every day

[Verse 4]
U.S.S.R., G.D.R
London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets
It's the puppets pull the strings, yeah
[Refrain]
Fall
Fall

[Chorus]
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Say goodbye

[Interlude: Man (Left Channel), Women, Man (Right Channel)]
Hold it (I just can't do it), I wanna be an airborne ranger
I wanna be an airborne ranger (This is all I've got)
I can't give nothing to anybody else anymore (I wanna live a life of danger)
I wanna live a life of danger (It's been stripped, it's been taken)

Gun (Gun!), gun (Gun!)
Gun (Gun!), gun (Gun!)
Kill (Kill!), kill, (Kill!)

[Verse 5]
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
Fall, missing is the rise and fall
Fall, I will rise and fall
[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
