I'm shedding my velvet
Can't you see?
This is the real me
I'm not as bad as I was
But I'm not as good
As I can be
As I can be
Think horses, not zebras
When you hear the sound
Of hooves on the ground
You are a heliotrope who loves the Sun
As it goes
Round and round
Round and round
The noblese oblige
You sense is mine
When I convey my lines
Better to illuminate
Than merely to shine
You say this all the time
And you're right
Better to illuminate
Than merely to shine
You say this all the time
And you're right
