Lost in the Brass
There it goes, again, the moment's 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 me nowhere
I just get lost, lost in the 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
And their hair is turning grey
No, they don't understand!
Oh, oh, oh, can anybody hear me?
I just know, I know
I can sparkle on the grass
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-tastic pink barrette
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
But someday, high school's gotta end
And I'll 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 it 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!
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 me nowhere
I just get lost, lost in the brass
Flutes don't sparkle, quite like batons

I get so lost, lost in the brass

Lost in the brass!
