lyrics

sometimes i don't reflect in mirrors
i just don't give off light
cos if you spend too long reflecting
you flicker out of sight

but other times - I gleam like polished brass
and other times - my head's as clear as glass
because a mirrorball's just seven years' bad luck until
it's hit by a light in the dark

sometimes i don't appear in pictures
my understudy's in place
he has a number of my features
but doesn't have my face

but other times - i can just be myself
leave out the act - the the mask upon the shelf

because a picture isn’t worth a thousand words until
it’s struck by a flash of light

sometimes i am the poor relation
i don't know what i'm worth
and why would i believe in Heaven?
when i found you on earth

and thanks to you - i know just what to say
and thanks to you - I fall in love everyday

because a mirrorball's just seven years' bad luck until.....

sometimes i can't complete my sentence
