Why are you so scared to show me
To show anyone
Who you are when you're not puttin' on a fuckin' show
Oh Nancy darlin' baby
Ain't it obvious
I mean you already said it kid
It's because I'm like a disco ball
Yeah I'm a disco ball
I spin and give you all a party feelin'
I'm sparkly and I'm fun and crucially I'm hung from the ceilin'
You're far away from me
If you weren't well it would be such a pity
'Cos when people get too close oof baby heaven knows well it ain't pretty
So I never let 'em get too close
Never let 'em stay too long
They'll see me in the light
Gotta keep it all goin'
Gotta keep 'em from knowin' what's inside
So I spin and I spin and I spin
Dazzlin' like I'm a disco ball
And I stay far away up above and you love it
I'm a disco ball
If I slow, let you close you would notice I'm nothin' like you thought I was at all
But no one notices 'cos everybody's dancin' 'round the disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin like I'm a disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin like I'm a disco ball
Yeah I learned long ago if I don't put on a show they'll keep their distance
People can you know
Disappointment, fag
Homo
Just for instance
When I have let people in there's tended to have been a bit of blowback
Like We can fuck but I'm not gay
I wish you'd dress a different way
Oh such a throwback
But if I keep it all goin'
If I keep it all glowin'
It's great for you and I
'Cos I'm never gonna show you-ou
It really isn't all inside
So I spin and I spin and I spin
Dazzlin' like I'm a disco ball
So the me that you see isn't real
No big deal, you love a disco ball
'Cos when I spin, spin, spin in the club no one ever sees the cracks at all
No one notices 'cos everybody's dancin' 'round the disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin like I'm a disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin like I'm a disco ball
Hey is this thing on
How's it goin' folks
Thank you so much for comin' out
Ooh if I had a penny for every time I heard that when I was fourteen
I'd have no pennies uh um uh
So I've got this friend
Let's call her Nancy 'cos that's her name
And she's all
Why you gotta put on a show all the time
Maybe you should be more vulnerable
Well kid it ain't gonna happen
'Cos when you grow up in
What's it called
Oh the world in which we live
You know
Where you call each other Gay in the playground
You don't even know what it means
You just know it's the worst possible insult
And every time you pop on the telly there's a comedy
With someone throwin' up 'cos they didn't realize the woman they were kissin' is trans
Well
When you grow up in that world you're gonna kind of have it instilled in you
That queerness is about as embarrassin', disgustin', unnatural immoral and wrong as pineapple on pizza ah hay
And then if one day
Uh oh
You slowly start to suspect that that is what you are
Unchangeably at your core
Wow
You're gonna learn to apply all those pesky little words
Anyone
You're gonna learn to apply them all to yourself baby
And that is all before you give anyone else the chance
But it's all good
It's all groovy
'Cos you can just turn yourself into a little disco ball baby
For sure
No one wants to see the broken ugly pieces of a disco ball up close
But they don't mind them so much when they're makin' the room sparkle
So who cares
Why those guys would not be seen with me
Why no one wants the authentic me
Why those strangers threw that shit at me
Why their words hurt but deep down I don't disagree
Why everyone I've loved's ashamed of me
Why my parents wouldn't look at me
Why it's only dark inside of me when I can disco ball it all away
So I spin and I twirl
To the world all I am is a disco ball
So I'm fractured and cracked
That's exactly what attracts you to a disco ball
I know it's fake and the toll that it takes kinda makes me think it's not sustainable
It's alright 'cos at least for the night they'll keep dancin' 'round the disco ball
So come on, here I am
Come on
Who's gonna use me like a disco ball
You can't love me for me
That's okay you can love me like a disco ball
And though I'm hangin' on by a thread and any minute there's a risk
I'll fall
Got no choice 'cos I know
I'm so much better off if I'm a disco ball
Can someone prove me wrong
How 'bout you sir
You wouldn't choose a disco ball
Who'd prefer all of this ugliness to the party of a disco ball
Not me that's for sure
You think you're not a fan
I'm really not a fan at all
So come on
Yes everybody dance around the disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin like I'm a disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin like a stupid fuckin' disco ball
Watch me spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin like a disco ball
