Song Lyrics

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 hummingbirds, 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
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
