The Great Beyond
Ií‚´ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I caní‚´t believe that I believed I wishedThat you could see
Thereí‚´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve
Ií‚´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ií‚´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I doní‚´t want to stay around
Why caní‚´t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
Ií‚´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ií‚´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
Ií‚´m breaking through
Ií‚´m bending spoons
Ií‚´m keeping flowers in full bloom
Ií‚´m looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
Ií‚´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ií‚´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
Ií‚´m breaking through
Ií‚´m bending spoons
Ií‚´m keeping flowers in full bloom
Ií‚´m looking for answers from the great beyond
Ií‚´m breaking through
Ií‚´m bending spoons
Ií‚´m keeping flowers in full bloom
Ií‚´m looking for answers from the great
(repeat following two verses 3 x each)
Ií‚´m breaking through
Ií‚´m bending spoons
Ií‚´m keeping flowers in full bloom
Ií‚´m looking for answers from the great beyond
Ií‚´m breaking through
Ií‚´m bending spoons
Ií‚´m keeping flowers in full bloom
Ií‚´m looking for answers from the great
