Shedding My Velvet letra

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
