Lonely go-go dancer

Dancing in crazy foam

Surrounded by your acolytes

But going home alone

When did you last see

A sun-drenched afternoon

When did the morning light

Last invade your room?



Disguise your nightlife pallor

With a tan from a machine

Behind your ears

A sticky scent

Of decadence and dreams



We all adore

Your sequinned smile

Revolving in your cloud of blue

Untouchable to anyone

Anyone but you



Lonely go-go dancer

On your revolving stage

Spinning super nova

Of the glamour age

When did you last feel

The brush of a lover's kiss

Someone who wants you for you

Is it love you miss

As you dance with dreaming eyes

Sleeping deep

With eyes awake

Thinking of a future

And the money you may make



We all adore

Your sequinned smile

Revolving in your cloud of blues

Untouchable to anyone

Anyone but you



Lonely go-go dancer

Crying softly to yourself

Why is one so beautiful

Left upon the shelf



Who gave you a face of angels

Dizzy with aspirations

Tied you with limitations

To a life of youth and beauty

Cruel desires

To be a singer

Fires that burn to be an actor

But with no voice

Or expression

You're trapped with your nightlife profession



Lonely go-go dancer

Share a little

Of your art

Give your body

Give your beauty

But most of all

Your heart



We all adore

Your sequinned smile

Revolving in your cloud of blue

Untouchable to anyone

Anyone but you
