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 noblesse 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
