The Great Beyond

R.E.M.
kar by Mike M (1/14/00)

Ịve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I caṇt believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
Therẹs a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve

Ịm pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ịm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I doṇt want to stay around
Why caṇt we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet

Ịm pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ịm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

Ịm breaking through
Ịm bending spoons
Ịm keeping flowers in full bloom
Ịm looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon

Ịm pushing an elephant up the stairs
Ịm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

Ịm breaking through
Ịm bending spoons
Ịm keeping flowers in full bloom
Ịm looking for answers from the great beyond

Ịm breaking through
Ịm bending spoons
Ịm keeping flowers in full bloom
Ịm looking for answers from the great beyond

Ịm breaking through
Ịm bending spoons
Ịm keeping flowers in full bloom
Ịm looking for answers from the great beyond

Ịm breaking through
Ịm bending spoons
Ịm keeping flowers in full bloom
Ịm looking for answers from the great beyond
