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
