R.E.M. — The Great Beyond lyrics
The page contains the lyrics of the song "The Great Beyond" by R.E.M..
Lyrics
IЂ™ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I canЂ™t believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
ThereЂ™s a new planet in the solar system
ThereЂ™s nothing up my sleeve
IЂ™m pushing an elephant up the stairs
IЂ™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 donЂ™t want to stay around
Why canЂ™t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
(repeat chorus 1)
IЂ™m breaking through
IЂ™m bending spoons
IЂ™m keeping flowers in full bloom
IЂ™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
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2 2x)
IЂ™m breaking through
IЂ™m bending spoons
IЂ™m keeping flowers in full bloom
IЂ™m looking for answers from the great, answers from the great
IЂ™m breaking through
IЂ™m bending spoons
IЂ™m keeping flowers in full bloom
IЂ™m looking for answers from the great, answers from the great, answers
