[00:19.67] I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
[00:27.97] All the sights that I have seen
[00:37.45] I can't believe that I believed I wished
[00:43.88] That you could see
[00:45.93] There's a new planet in the solar system
[00:50.38] There is nothing up my sleeve
[00:55.27] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[00:59.57] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[01:03.77] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[01:07.82] Crashing to the ground
[01:12.80] And all this talk of time
[01:16.50] Talk is fine
[01:20.79] And I don't want to stay around
[01:30.72] Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
[01:37.67] And sleep sweet dreams
[01:39.41] Me and you with wings on our feet
[01:48.43] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[01:52.71] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[01:56.80] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[02:00.81] Crashing to the ground
[02:05.70] I'm breaking through
[02:08.24] I'm bending spoons
[02:09.74] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[02:13.98] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[02:38.64] I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
[02:44.12] Sweetest dreams of you
[02:48.51] Look into the stars
[02:53.05] Look into the moon
[02:57.95] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
[03:02.29] I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
[03:06.38] Over my shoulder a piano falls
[03:10.33] Crashing to the ground
[03:15.21] I'm breaking through
[03:17.66] I'm bending spoons
[03:19.22] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:23.51] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[03:32.14] I'm breaking through
[03:34.09] I'm bending spoons
[03:36.03] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:40.37] I'm looking for answers from the great
[03:49.67] I'm breaking through
[03:51.86] I'm bending spoons
[03:53.31] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[03:57.55] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
[04:06.24] I'm breaking through
[04:08.58] I'm bending spoons
[04:10.18] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[04:15.07] I'm looking for answers from the great
[04:23.70] I'm breaking through
[04:25.19] I'm bending spoons
[04:27.09] I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
[04:31.63] I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
