There s a silver lining in the corporate cloud

And the pretty pose that you re taking as

As an emceeohof the great pretender

I should sure think so

Wouldn t mama be proud?

"can i take your order?"

Asks the heavenly host

Ticket to the jetstream

Blowing coast to coast

The long stemmed glassesa movie

And a pleasant dream in mid air

You gotta tell me quickly

Cos we re almost there

Wouldn t mama be proud?

If you look out your window

And the sky s gone black

Well kid you re on the right track

If i send you postcards

From the side of the road

Photographs of moving

Parts about to explode

If i call to keep it together

Like you say i can do

To transmit a moment

From me to you

Wouldn t mama be proud?

Wouldn t mama be proud?

Wouldn t mama be proud?

Wouldn t mama be proud?
