Downtown's been caught
By the hysteria
People scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads
Like a bacteria
Those lonely days are right
Welcome back passion
Of the groove
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying
At the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying
At the discoteque
Tonight's the night
At Danceteria
The joining of the tribe
The speakers blasting
Clear and loud
The way you dance
Is our criteria
The DJ takes you high
The tears of joy
Baptize the crowd
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie
Like Richard Gere
I wanna get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying
At the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying
At the discoteque
The passion of the groove
Generation on the move
Joining of the disco tribe
Let the music take you high
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
