The Great Beyond |
| 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 punch lines that were never there |
| Over my shoulder a piano falls |
| Crashing to the ground |
| In all this talk of time, talk is fine |
| But I don’t want to stay around |
| Why can’t we pantomime |
| Just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams |
| Me and you with wings on our feet |
| I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs |
| I’m tossing up punch lines that were never there |
| Over my shoulder a piano falls |
| Crashing to the ground |
| 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 want the humming birds, the dancing bears |
| Sweetest dreams of you |
| I look into the stars |
| I look into the moon |
| I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs |
| I’m tossing up punch lines that were never there |
| Over my shoulder a piano falls |
| Crashing to the ground |
| 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 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 |
| I’m breaking through, I’m bending spoons |
| (Here's a little agit for the never-believer) |
| I’m keeping flowers in full bloom |
| (Here's a little ghost for the offering) |
| I’m looking for answers from the great |
| 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 |
