Disco Ball Heart

Edie Carey

I may have been raised 
On simple taste 
But I was all lace and sequins and neon sachets across the floor 
Oh I lived in luxury, changed my pennies to cubic zirconias 
Yeah, but man did I look good

Most of us grow out of this before it's too late 
We choke back sensibility like the liver on our plates
In hopes of just one taste of the sweetness that awaits 
The sweetness that awaits

I'm a little more sedate 
In my old age 
Hid the glitter so well I lost it
Left my Las Vegas ambitions behind 
But never be fooled by the black 
Underneath all this simplicity 
Spins a disco ball heart 
I got me a disco

I guess I should grow out of this before it's too late 
Choke back sensibility like the liver on my plate 
In hopes of just one taste of the sweetness that awaits 
The sweetness that awaits

Me, I want desert first 
And a butterscotch baby 
To hold me tight
I want a life-size 
Chocolate version of you
I'm praying with all of my might
I'll wake up this'll still be true
I'll wake up this'll still be true

I guess it makes sense that 
I chose this 
Get to dress up and tell you stories 
I'm getting paid to be a kid 
I'm getting paid to be a kid

Every day, everyday, everyday I write the book
