The Conductor

[Verse 1]
Confident with your back to the audience
Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist
Start the orchestra slow with an elegant aire
Then a circular sweep, crescendoing swell

[Pre-Chorus]
Leo Slatkin, Dohnanyi, Previne, Depaur
Oh

[Chorus]
Your arms are calling out
They wave like a swarm of sound
You pull the sound from scores of notes
You step the stage and take control

[Verse 2]
You're conducting Varese in a moment of silence
Your body directs a pulse of wind

[Pre-Chorus]
Von Karajan, Hampton, Menuhin, Levine
Oh

[Chorus]
Your arms are calling out
They wave like a swarm of sound
You pull the sound from scores of notes
You step the stage and take control
Those arms are calling out
They wave like a swarm of sound
You pull the sound from scores of notes
You step the stage and take control
[Outro]
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control, control
