lyrics

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 you going to now...

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

Fall, rise and...
Fall, rise and...

In an apartment on Time Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution everyday
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, it's the puppets
Pull the strings, yeah

Fall...
Fall...

Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye

[Drill Instructor / Girls]
Hold it
I wanna be an airborne ranger
I wanna be an airborne ranger
I wanna live a life of danger
I wanna live a life of danger
Gun, Gun!
Gun, Gun!
Gun, Gun!
Gun, Gun!
Kill, Kill!
Kill, Kill!

[Vietnam Soldier?]
I just can't do it
This is all I've got
I can't give nothing
To anybody else anymore
It's been stripped, it's been taken

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, this is the rise and fall...
Fall, 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, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

"When we set out on this record it was Larry who came up with the plan not to have a plan. He put up this idea that wouldn’t it be great just to make music for its own sake, not for the purpose of a live show or on album but just to see what we’re capable of.." - Bono, September 2008, talking on the upcoming album
