Goodbye, Good Night

A flower for your vanity
A penny for your thoughts
About the world's insanity
And how we've gotten lost
Strike up the band to play a song
As we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye

Goodbye, oh, goodbye

Say a prayer for recognition
Kiss the ones you love
Gather up the ammunition
Sigh for all the lost
Strike up the band to play a song
As we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye

Raise a glass for ignorance
Drink a toast to fear
The beginning of the end has come
That's why we all are here
Strike up the band to play a song
And try hard not to cry
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Goodbye
