Downtown's been caught by the hysteria 00:22

The people scream and shout 00:26

A generation's on the move 00:29

00:33

When disco spreads like a bacteria 00:35

The lonely days are out 00:40

Behold the passion of the groove 00:43

The golden years, the silver tears 00:48

You wore a tie like Richard Gere 00:51

I wanna get down, you spin me around 00:55

I stand on the borderline 00:58

Crying at the discotheque 01:01

Crying at the discotheque 01:07

I saw you crying 01:17

I saw you crying at the discotheque 01:20

I saw you crying 01:22

I saw you crying at the discotheque 01:24

Tonight's the night at the danceteria 01:28

The joining of the tribe 01:32

The speakers pumping clear and loud 01:35

01:39

And the way you move is our criteria 01:41

Let the DJ takes you high 01:45

And tears of joy baptize the crowd 01:49

The golden years, the silver tears 01:54

You wore a tie like Richard Gere 01:57

I wanna get down, you spin me around 02:00

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Downtown's been caught by the hysteria

The people scream and shout

A generation's on the move

...

When disco spreads like a bacteria

The lonely days are out

Behold the 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 discotheque

...

Crying at the discotheque

...

I saw you crying

I saw you crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying

I saw you crying at the discotheque

Tonight's the night at the danceteria

The joining of the tribe

The speakers pumping clear and loud

...

And the way you move is our criteria

Let the DJ takes you high

And 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 discotheque

I saw you crying

I saw you crying at the discotheque

I saw you crying

I saw you crying at the discotheque

...

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 discotheque

...

Crying at the discotheque

The discotheque, the discotheque

Crying at the discotheque

...

Crying at the discotheque

...
