Dancin' when the stars go blue Dancin' when the evening fell Dancin' in your wooden shoes In a wedding gown Dancin' out on 7th street Dancin' through the underground Dancin' with the marionette Are you happy now? Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue? Where do you go when you're lonely? I'll follow you When the stars go blue Stars go blue Stars go blue Stars go blue Laughin' with your pretty mouth Laughin' with your broken eyes Laughin' with your lover's tongue In a lullaby Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue? Where do you go when you're lonely? I'll follow you When the stars go blue Stars go blue Stars go blue Stars go blue
