Glitterball Songtext
von Matthew Bailey

Birthday party ended
Dad was running late
Saw a crowd gathering
′Round lane #8
Reversible sequin
One-piece suit
Written across the back
In plastic jewels, was

Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball

Strike, strike, strike,
Wait
She takes a sip of
A strawberry shake
There's something so familiar
Like a dream that you′ve worn
Like a word on the edge of your lips
The vowels taking form


Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball

With Janet Jackson singing
The disco ball spinning
Light scatters across her face
Eyes I know
A shape I've seen before
Standing at the door
Putting us to sleep

That was way back
In 1983
Now I'm playing 10-pin, with the boys
Every other week
There′s a pink ball that still glitters
She must have left behind
It moves through the rotation
And she′s still on my mind

Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball
Glitter-ball
