Shedding My Velvet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] "Better to illuminate than merely to shine" You say this all the time and you're right
