Maestro's Rocketship

And have you ever seen a maestro furiously plucking at his strings

As to the woman of his dreams, he sings

Or have you rather seen the lights aglow with his head bent low and his song real slow

As he sings of his affliction from Cupid's bow

And so you ask why I play my love song so fast

Is it because I think my love's not fit to last

And why do I strum these chords with unduly haste

Because in this life we don't have no time to waste

And have you ever read Petrarch's eternal words indelibly on the page

He immortalized his love in a cage

Or have you ever seen the Mona Lisa sitting in the Louvre

Oh she's beautiful alright yeah but can she groove

And so you ask why I play my love song so fast

Is it because I think my love's not fit to last

And why do I strum these chords with unduly haste

Because in this life we don't have no time to waste

And so often I've seen a man thinking he's sacrificing for his wife

Working hard working so long for the promise of a better life

And for happiness now seems like people are looking around thinking

that it can be found if their salaries will allow just one more item

but what about happiness now

And now you know why I play my love song so fast

Cause I don't give a damn if my love's not fit to last

And I will play my chords with unduly haste

So my love can't be traced and of life I'll get a taste

So I'll put down my guitar now let's not let this night go to waste
