Seconds lyrics

Takes a second to say goodbye, say goodbye

Oh, oh, oh, say bye-bye.

Where you going to now?

Lightning flashes across the sky

East to West, do and die.

Like a thief in the night, see the world by candlelight.

Fall, rise and...

In an apartment on Times Square

You can assemble them anywhere.

Held to ransom, hell to pay

A revolution every day.

U.S.S.R., G.D.R., London, New York, Peking.

It's the puppets, it's the puppets pull the strings, yeah.

Fall, rise and...

Say goodbye, 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.

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

They want you to sing along.

Say goodbye, say goodbye
