The Great Beyond (Edit) by R.E.M.

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's nothing up my sleeve

I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossin' up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashin' to the ground

And 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 pushin' an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossin' up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashin' to the ground

I'm breakin' through
I'm bendin' spoons
I'm keepin' flowers in full bloom
I'm lookin' for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummin' birds
The dancin' bears
Sweetest dreams of you
And look into the stars
And look into the moon

I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossin' up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashin' to the ground

I'm breakin' through
I'm bendin' spoons
I'm keepin' flowers in full bloom
I'm lookin' for answers from the great beyond

I'm breakin' through
I'm bendin' spoons
I'm keepin' flowers in full bloom
I'm lookin' for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers

I'm breakin' through
I'm bendin' spoons
I'm keepin' flowers in full bloom
I'm lookin' for answers from the great beyond

I'm breakin' through
I'm bendin' spoons
I'm keepin' flowers in full bloom
I'm lookin' for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers
