to shed your skin 
makes you begin 
again
like the snake that you are
befriend
that one with the car

then you go driving out into the night
finding the places with pretty bright lights
watching the wannabes mingle and mix
hoping you won't need temptations fix
its not just magicians and hookers with tricks
this world of illusions is so full of pricks    <===  ==== original ending

still you know just who you are     <=========== added to meet next late post
one of the unknown stars
shining so bright
though you can't fill the night
for infinity is oh so very far
you just don't know where to begin
so once more its time 
to shed your skin
