[Verse 1: Susan Anway]
Was there some part of you
Tail or hunchback
That, when they cut it off, grew back?
You were a little girl
With starry eyes

You can go back but, baby
That won't make you young
The wind will blow, or it won't
The stars come out, or they don't
The world goes round, or we get thrown into the stars
[Chorus]
When we go dancing
Underneath the city in the catacombs
When we go dancing
The strobe lights and the disco will bring us home
