Where's The Orchestra? Lyrics - 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 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?
