R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry.

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 

(repeat next verses 3x each) 
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
