The question is wouldn't mama be proud

There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud

And the pretty pose that you're taking as

As an emcee  oh  of 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 glasses  a 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 kidyou'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
