Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's a last song you can sell
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Tchau, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell

Someone shut the lights off, turn the page
The stories I could write
I've seen a million faces and I've lived a couple lives
Here's our history for all to see
The smiles and all the scars
First the rising, then the falling
Call this chapter "Shooting Stars"
(Must sound good from where you are!)

Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Tchau, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell

Ah, check the box, yeah, mark this day
There's nothing more to say
After 30 years of loyalty, they let you dig a grave
Now, maybe you could learn to sing
or even strum along
But I'll give you half the publishing
You're why I wrote this song
(Everybody, sing along!)

Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here's one last song you can sell
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Hope my money and my masters
Buy a front row seat in hell

Tchau, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in St. Tropez
