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
