All you pretty people stand there.
Blood under your nails.
Doing nothing, saying something
Never seems to fail.

But our guards are down, defenseless.
And our walls have cracked.
So my heart is beating faster.
Than a heart attack.

Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye and farewell.
First we live but then we die.
Goodbye, goodbye.

So they whisper secrets to you,
That I know you hear.
All the thoughts that rush inside you
Never seemed so clear.

You should write a book about it.
You should start a war.
You should tear your eyes out of you,
As they look for more.

Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye and farewell.
First we live but then we die.
We die. Oh, oh.
Pretty people standing by.
We play. We pretend.
And we try and act surprised,
As we watch the world end.

All you pretty people look at me.
All you pretty people stare at me.

But our guards are down, defenseless.
And our walls have cracked.
So my heart is beating faster
Than a heart attack.
Heart attack.
Heart attack.
Heart attack.

Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye and farewell.
First we live but then we die.
We die. Oh, oh.
Pretty people standing by.
We play. We pretend.
And we try and act surprised,
As we watch the world end.

Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Kiss the way we were goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Kiss the way we were goodbye.

As we watch the world die.
