Lyrics
i must admit i've never felt such attention
riding through this sad convention
it seems a real relief to me
I've never felt so free
everyone can finally see me for what i am:
skin and bone, cradle to throne,
all the imperfections i could not disown
are stripped away on this happy day
stick your thumb out now, you're going my way
i'm driving around in the nicest car in town
and everyone i know is gathered 'round.
it's a comfort and a curse to know
you've faced the worst
and to know now it's all behind you
To finally have your place, serenity on your face,
before all the lovely thousands.
The world has come to see
Me and all my glory
I'm unpeturbed as they all bow their heads
before me.
I'm king of this throng, riding on my wax and chrome,
I'm the sultan of all of their emotions.
i'm driving around in the nicest car in town
and everyone i know is gathered 'round.
