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 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
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 Danceteria
The joining of the tribes
The speakers blasting clear and loud
The way you dance is our criteria
The D.J. takes you high
Let 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
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 passion of the groove
Generation on the move
Join in on the disco triumph
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 discotheque
Crying at the discotheque
