Where's The Orchestra?
Billy Joel
Where's the orchestra? 
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical? 
Here I am,.. 
In the balcony, 
How the hell could I have missed the overture? 
I like the scenery 
Even though, I have absolutely no,..idea at all,... 
What is being said, despite the dialogue, 
There's the leading man 
The movie star who never faced an audience 
Where's the orchestra? 
After all, this is my big night on the town 
My introduction to the theatre crowd 
I assumed that the show would have a song 
So I was wrong 
At least I understand 
All the innuendo and the irony 
And I appreciate, 
The roles the actors played 
The point the author made 
And after the closing lines, 
And after the curtain calls,... 
The curtain falls... 
On empty chairs,. 
Where's the orchestra?
