This song has been on my iPod for a looooong time, and I just recently caught the lyrics in my brain. It makes me smile because I have felt like this recently, busy concentrating on this damned elephant and -hey, would you lookit that- there goes a piano all to pieces right behind me. 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
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
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
