Verse 2:
Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes for laughs
Is all right for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
The porpoise is waiting, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Coda:
G D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
G Bm (45 ends cold)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
