Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 is nothin' up my sleeve [Refrain] I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs I'm tossin' up punch lines that were never there Over my shoulder, a piano falls Crash into the ground [Verse 2] In 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 [Refrain] I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs I'm tossin' up punch lines that were never there Over my shoulder, a piano falls Crash into the ground [Chorus] I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond [Verse 3] I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bear Sweetest dreams of you I'm lookin' to the stars Look into the moon [Refrain] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there Over my shoulder, a piano falls Crash into the ground [Chorus] 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'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond Answers from the great Answers [Outro, spoken] Thank you very much No, wait- shit! I made a pact at the beginning of the European tour That the phrase "thank you very much" was a really stupid thing to say to a large group of people, so Thanks a lot This next song is a love song, and it takes place in my home away from home New York City
