Seconds

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
