Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: Where's The Orchestra?
 Lyrics for Album: The Nylon Curtain [1982]
 
 
 
 4240>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 theater 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?
