lyrics

If you think you're nothing
Well think again my friend
I think that your something
And I will think that to the end
I know that you are good at heart
And I won't let you fall apart

The blank unholy surprise of it
I was never apprised of it
Until I looked into your eyes
Well you got fires banked down in you
Hearth-fires and holocausts

You always found yourself short-shrifted
Never had any recognition
You tripped and fell down time and again
While on the rocky road to perdition
I want to help you find your way
I want to be your personal valet

You're made out of flesh and blood
You're full of warmth and delight
You're lit from within, Tracy
On the screen up there in black and white
You are as graceful as a swan
No you are not made out bronze
