Lyrics

[00:19.21] I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
[00:27.87] All the sights that I have seen
[00:33.48]
[00:37.32] I can't believe that I believed I wished
[00:42.89] That you could see
[00:45.45] There's a new planet in the solar system
[00:49.84] There is nothing up my sleeve
[00:54.36] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[00:59.28] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[01:03.63] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[01:07.61] Crashing to the ground
[01:12.88] And all this talk of time
[01:16.39] Talk is fine
[01:20.78] And I don't want to stay around
[01:30.51] Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
[01:36.60] And sleep sweet dreams
[01:39.01] Me and you with wings on our feet
[01:45.17]
[01:48.33] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[01:52.47] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[01:56.78] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[02:00.65] Crashing to the ground
[02:02.51]
[02:05.45] I'm breaking through
[02:07.88] I'm bending spoons
[02:09.70] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[02:13.96] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[02:19.87]
[02:38.49] I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
[02:44.04] Sweetest dreams of you
[02:48.43] Look into the stars
[02:52.69] Look into the moon
[02:56.74]
[02:57.73] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[03:01.95] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[03:06.30] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[03:10.20] Crashing to the ground
[03:15.08] I'm breaking through
[03:19.12] I'm bending spoons
[03:19.91] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:23.66] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[03:28.30]
[03:32.45] I'm breaking through
[03:34.10] I'm bending spoons
[03:36.17] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:40.33] I'm looking for answers from the great
[03:44.20]
[03:46.36] (repeat following two verses 3 x each)
[03:49.12] I'm breaking through
[03:50.97] I'm bending spoons
[03:52.99] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:56.87] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[04:06.41] I'm breaking through
[04:07.98] I'm bending spoons
[04:10.04] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[04:14.23] I'm looking for answers from the great
