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
Another grey town in the afternoon
Hello to the girl with the yellow balloon
I haven't got a place where to lay my hat
I long for the five-star life like that

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

Don't you want to know why I left you there
Alone on the carousel spinning away?
Another grey town and it's alright
I love everyone that I meet tonight

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

[Bridge with spoken word in German]
Willst du nicht wissen
warum ich dich dort zurückgela**en habe?
Allein an dem sich wegdrehendem Karussell?
Düsseldorf taucht in dem kalten grauen Licht auf
Ich liebe jeden den ich heute nacht treffe

Noch eine graue Stadt am Nachmittag
Hallo an das Mädchen mit dem gelben Luftballon
Ich habe keinen Platz an den ich meinen Hut legen kann
Ich sehne mich nach

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
