UP IN THE CHEAP SEATS

We were the new girls
We were the unsung
We were on the climb
Rung by rung
But then you made the big time
Marquee lights
Now you're the warrior
And you kill 'em every night
But if you ever look at the crowd
Back of the balcony hey, hey
Look for me
Up in the cheap seats
Here where I've always been
Where I've always been, yeah yeah
Oh you're so strong
You stand so tall
And I'm a shadow of your shadow and that's all
And you're so brave, yeah yeah
So sure
And I'm a nothing much
An afterthought
An item of the furniture
But if you ever look at the crowd, yeah yeah
Back of the balcony hey, hey
Look for me
Up in the cheap seats
Here where I've always been
To you old friend, yeah
Look for me
Up in the cheap seats
Here where I've always been
In your opinion
And when I stayed the other day after the play
Just to say hello, how've you been
Well you're a busy girl with your brilliant mind
Hey when you find the time for humankind
Let me know, let me know, yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Till then ah don't you know where I'll be
Up in the cheap seats
Here where I've always been
Oh where I've always been
Might not be there next time baby no no
Oh in the cheap seats
Here where I've always been
Where I've always been
In your opinion
In your high and mighty opinion
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
