Lost In The Brass

Lyrics

[LAURA] There it goes again The moments gone and I'm too lame to speak Another wasted opportunity Always waiting for something to happen But nothing's gonna happen Not for me "Buddy." I'm always "Buddy." I'm a girl for your information Forever in this situation Waiting and hoping he'll notice how I'm feeling But every time I get him near I fade away, I disappear That's me, never getting heard He just smiles and walks away Like I never said a word! Oh-oh-oh, can anybody hear me? Am I just blowing air while the whole world marches past? Still I blow and blow, though I know it gets mе nowhere I just get lost, lost in thе Brass Flutes don't sparkle quite like batons There's no visual attraction No stimulus reaction Pretty music, that's all the pretty that I got I'm special in a quiet way At least that's what my parents say Whatever, they were never in the band Their hair is turning grey No, they don't understand! Oh-oh-oh! Can anybody hear me? I just know, I know I could sparkle on the brass! But my melody can never be heard clearly I just get lost, lost, lost in the brass I get so lost, lost in the brass Listen I'm not background noise Listen, I make music See me, I'm not one of the boys I shine, I shine, I shine On my own So I don't wear makeup I don't stick my hair up With some awesome-tactic pink beret No, I'll never be a majorette I'm plain, I'm basic And I sweat when I get nervous I suck at popularity People just don't notice me Someday high school's got to end And I finally find a place Where this woodwind doesn't blend! Oh-oh-oh! There's a whole world to be pursuing! If I could just get out and leave this all here in the past Yeah, they'll remember me, thinking "gosh, how is she doing?" And I'll be long gone Oh-oh-oh! I'll be solo obbligato Cutting loud and clear right through the tuba blast Soaring high above that clumsy bass vibrato I won't be lost, lost, lost in the brass And finally they'll see there's so much more to me At last, I won't be lost Lost in the brass Lost in the Brass!
