Intro

Verse 1

All you pretty people stand there

Blood under your nails,

Doing nothing, saying something

Never seems to fail

Prechorus

But our guards are down, defenseless

And our walls have cracked

So my heart is beating faster

Than a heart attack

Chorus

Kiss the way we were goodbye

Goodbye and farewell

First we live but then we die,

Goodbye, goodbye...

Verse 2

So they whisper secrets to you

That I know you hear

All the thoughts that rush inside you,

Never seemed so clear

Prechorus 2

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

Chorus

Kiss the way we were goodbye

Goodbye and farewell

First we live but then we die,

We die, oh, ooh...

Pretty people standing by

We play, we pretend

And we try and act surprised

As we watch the world end...

Bridge

All you pretty people look at me

All you pretty people stare at me

Prechorus 1

But our guards are down, defenceless

And our walls have cracked

So my heart is beating faster

Than a heart attack...

Heart attack...(x3)

Chorus

Kiss the way we were goodbye

Goodbye and farewell

First we live but then we die,

We die, oh, ooh...

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...(x3)

Kiss the way we were goodbye,

As we watch the world die...
