Man on the Moon movie - The Great Beyond lyrics

Song by R.E.M.<br /><br>

I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes <br>

All the sights that I have seen <br>

I can't believe that I believed I wished that you could see <br>

There's a new planet in the solar system <br>

There is nothing up my sleeve <br>

<br>

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs <br>

I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there <br>

Over my shoulder, a piano falls <br>

Crashing to the ground <br>

<br>

In all this talk of time, talk is fine <br>

But I don't want to stay around <br>

Why can't we pantomime, <br>

Just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams, <br>

Being here with wings on our feet? <br>

<br>

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs <br>

I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there <br>

Over my shoulder, a piano falls <br>

Crashing to the ground <br>

I'm breaking through <br>

I'm bending spoons <br>

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom <br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great Beyond <br>

<br>

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears <br>

Sweetest dreams of you <br>

I'll look into the stars <br>

I'll look into the moon <br>

<br>

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs <br>

I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there <br>

Over my shoulder, a piano falls <br>

Crashing to the ground <br>

I'm breaking through <br>

I'm bending spoons <br>

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom <br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great Beyond <br>

<br>

I'm breaking through <br>

I'm bending spoons <br>

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom <br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great <br>

Answers from the Great <br>

Answers <br>

I'm breaking through <br>

I'm bending spoons <br>

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom <br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great Beyond <br>

<br>

I'm breaking through <br>

I'm bending spoons <br>

(Here's a little agit for the never-believer)<br>

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom <br>

(Here's a little ghost for the offering)<br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great <br>

Answers from the Great <br>

I'm looking for answers from the Great Beyond <br>

[BOB:] Look, uh ... Tony Clifton is gonna go on Taxi<br>

next week, and that should ... uh, uh ...<br>

let him blow off steam and relieve the stress, K?<br>

<br>

[GEORGE:] Bob... Bob, Bob, Bob. Andy needs to relax.<br>

This is your job: You have to take him away<br>

from all of this!<br>
