Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
 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
 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
 (Here's a little agit for the never believer)
 I´m  looking  for answers from  the great
 (Here's a little ghost for the offering)
Answers  from the great, answers
