[VERSE 1]
Don't you want to know why I left you there
All alone on the carousel spinning away?
Düsseldorf looms in the cold gray light
I love everyone that I meet tonight
[VERSE 2]
Another grey town in the afternoon
Hello to the girl with the yellow balloon

[Chorus]
She lifts the stylus, drops it down
The ice is melting all around
Put on, put on your favourite song
Put on, put on your favourite song

[Bridge with spoken word in German]

[Chorus]
She lifts the stylus, drops it down
The ice is melting all around
Put on, put on your favorite song
The girl from Düsseldorf has gone
Put on, put on your favorite song
Put on, put on your favorite song
Put on, put on your favorite song
The girl from Düsseldorf has gone
