I ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
Oh the sights that I have seen (riff A)
I can t believe that I believed
I wish that you could see (riff A)

CHORUS
I m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I?m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
crashing to the grouououond
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don?t want to stay around
Why can?t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
I?m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I?m tossing up punchlines 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
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
I?m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I?m tossing up punchlines 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

intro:
I ve watched the sun spot silent
from your eyes
all the sights that I have seen
I can t believe that
I believed I wish that you could see
Desert need no cloud in the summer zest
there is nothing up my sleeve
I m pushing an elephant up the stairs,
I m tossing out punchlines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls,
chrashing to the ground.
and all this talk of time
talk is fine
but I don t want to stay around
why can t we pat some on
just close your eyes and sleep sweet dreams
in the place on offing
I m pushing an elephant up the stairs,
I m tossing out punchlines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls,
chrashing 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 to dance in their
sweetest dreams of you
look into the stars
look into your eyes
I m pushing an elephant up the stairs,
I m tossing out punchlines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls,
chrashing to the ground.

I m breaking through, I m bending

bloom, I m looking for answers from the great...

I m breaking through, I m bending
