Downtown's been caught by the hysteria   People scream and shout   A generation's on the move   When disco spreads like a bacteria   These lonely days are out   Welcome 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      Cryin' at the discotheque   Cryin' at the discotheque   I saw you cryin'   I saw you cryin' at the discotheque   I saw you cryin'   I saw you cryin' at the discotheque      Tonight's the night at the danceteria   The joinin' of the tribe   The speakers blasting clear and loud   The way you dance is our criteria   The D.J. takes you high   Let tears of joy baptise 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      Cryin' at the discotheque   Cryin' at the discotheque   I saw you cryin'   I saw you cryin' at the discotheque   I saw you cryin'   I saw you cryin' at the discotheque      The passion of the groove   Generation on the move   Joinin' 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      Cryin' at the discotheque   Cryin' at the discotheque   Cryin' at the discotheque   ...
