  I've watched the stars fall silent 

  From your eyes  

  All the sights that I have seen 

  x---x---x---x x---x---x---x 

  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 punch lines that were never there 

  Over my shoulder a piano falls 

  Crashing to the ground

  S2:
  In all this talk of time 

  Talk is fine  

  But I don't want to stay around 

  x---x---x---x x---x---x---x 

  Why can't we pantomime 

  Just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams 

  Me and you with wings on our feet 

  x---x---x---x x---x---x---x

  I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons 

  I'm keeping flowers in full bloom

  I want the humming birds, the dancing bears 

  Sweetest dreams of you 

  I look into the stars 

  I look into the moon
