Wouldn't Mama Be Proud? Lyrics - Figure 8 - Elliott Smith

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 

As an NCO 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 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 

Photos 

Wouldn't mama be proud? 

Wouldn't mama be proud? 

Wouldn't mama be proud? 

Wouldn't mama be proud? 

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?
