Intro: (4x) verse 1 I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes All the sights that I have seen I can't believe that I believed I wished That you could see There's a new planet in the solar system There is nothing up my sleeve I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground verse 2 And all this talk of time Talk is fine And I don't want to stay around Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes And sleep sweet dreams Being here with wings on our feet I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground Bridge I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond Instrumental: verse 3 I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears Sweetest dreams of you Look into the stars Look into the moon I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground Verse I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great Answers ... I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond Outro (2x)
