[Verse 1]
My my, the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice

[Chorus 1]
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 2]
Cliques, claques, riding the backs of giraffes
For laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings
And things that go with a life of style

[Chorus 2]
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
The porpoise is waiting, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Instrumental coda]
