The question is: wouldn´t mama be proud?
There´s a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you´re taking as an NCO
Of the Great Pretender
I should sure think so
Wouldn´t mama be proud?
"Can I take your order?" asked the heavenly host
Ticket to the jet stream, blowing coast to coast
The long-stemmed glasses, a movie, and a pleasant dream in midair
"You gotta tell me quickly, ´cos we´re almost there"
Wouldn´t mama be proud?
Pointed out of the window at the sky gone black
"Kid, you´re on the right track"
If I send you postcards from the side of the road
Photographs of moving parts about to implode
If I crawl to keep it together like you say you know I can do
To transmit the moment from me to you
Wouldn´t mama be proud?
Wouldn´t mama be proud?
Wouldn´t mama be proud?
