Elliott Smith - Wouldn't Mama Be Proud? Lyrics
The question is wouldn't mama be proud?There's a silver lining in the corporate cloudAnd the pretty pose that you're taking asAs an emcee, oh, of the great pretenderI should sure think soWouldn't mama be proud?"can i take your order?"Asks the heavenly hostTicket to the jetstreamBlowing coast to coastThe long stemmed glasses, a movieAnd a pleasant dream in mid airYou gotta tell me quicklyCos we're almost thereWouldn't mama be proud?If you look out your windowAnd the sky's gone blackWell kid you're on the right trackIf i send you postcardsFrom the side of the roadPhotographs of movingParts about to explodeIf i call to keep it togetherLike you say i can doTo transmit a momentFrom me to youWouldn't mama be proud?Wouldn't mama be proud?Wouldn't mama be proud?Wouldn't mama be proud?
