R.e.m. - The Great Beyond 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 nothing up my sleeve [Chorus 1] I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to 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 [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] 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 humming birds, the dancing bears Sweetest dreams of you I look into the stars I look into the moon [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond [Chorus 2] I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great Answers from the great, answers [Chorus 2] I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond [Chorus 2] I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons (Here's a little agit for the never-believer) I'm keeping flowers in full bloom (Here's a little ghost for the offering) I'm looking for answers from the great Answers from the great, answers [Chorus 2] I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
