Jars of Clay Goodbye, Goodnight

A flower for your vanity, a penny for your thoughts About the world's insanity and how we've gotten lost Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by And fake a smile as we all say goodbye Goodbye, oh goodbye Say a prayer for recognition, kiss the ones you love Gather up the ammunition, sigh for all the lost Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by And fake a smile as we all say goodbye Raise a glass for ignorance, drink a toast to fear The beginning of the end has come that's why we all are here Strike up the band to play a song and try hard not to cry And fake a smile as we all say goodbye Goodbye
