 Verse 1: Fine art never moved my soul
 	 No vintage wine and designer clothes
 Verse 2: Shakespeare's sonnets leave me cold
 	 The drama stage and the high brow prose
 Verse 3: And you keep saying what you got
 	 You keep saying what you got

 Chorus 1: A different kind of tinsel decorates my tree
           A thousand Cheshire cats grin inside of me
 Chorus 2: The brightest fireworks are lighting up my sky
 	  The cage is open but she's no desire to fly
