Marc Almond Lonely Go-go Dancer
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
