Elegy

Get off my plane from New York
Burbank looks tired tonight
Stuck in some traffic I’m not really sure
If it’s Cahuenga or the 405

Mom calls me up on the phone
Tell her I’m doing okay
She says “You’ll feel better if you come back home”
Well I’m sorry I’ve got shows to play

What did you think of the encore
What did you think of the songs
What did you think all the people would do –
Sing along?
You got it wrong
Cuz that’s not how this story goes

Table for one at the bar
Happy hour special to boot
Look where you’ve been, look how you’ve come this far
Look at your friends dressed up in business suits

What did you think of the encore
What did you think of the songs
What did you think all the people would do –
Sing along?
You got it wrong
Cuz that’s not how this story goes

Meet up with friends, go downtown
Some rooftop hotel with a view
Everyone likes it when you come around
Say it over if it helps you through

What did you think of the encore
What did you think of the songs
Look at the people – they’re all here for you –
Singing along
You got it wrong
And maybe that’s not how this story goes
