I'm looking for answers in the graveyard
I'm looking for answers in the great beyond
Over my shoulder
help me in I'm falling crash into the ground
Over my shoulder
a piano falls crashing to the ground
REM's,
"The Great Beyond"
Derest need no cloud in the summer zest.
There's a new planet in the solar system.
REM's,
"The Great Beyond"
Desolate planet in the solar system.
There's a new planet in the solar system.
Dinosaur system
In the solar system
I'm baking poo
I'm breaking through
I'm baking prunes
I'm breaking through
I'm breaking through abandoned spoons.
I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons.
REM's,
"The Great Beyond"
I'm looking for answers from the Great Suprendo.
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond.
R.E.M's,
"The Great Beyond"
I'm looking for answers
From the grave, beyond
I'm looking for answers
From the great beyond
REM's,
"The Great Beyond"
I'm pushing an elephant up the a***.
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs.
R.E.M's,
"The Great Beyond"
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm putting up porch lights that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls, crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spools
I'm keeping flowers in the room
And searching for answers from the great backyard
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
And searching for answers from the great beyond
Obama Shoulder, a piano falls
I'm breakin' through abandoned sperms
Over my shoulder a piano falls
I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons
Why can't we tantalize
Why can't we pantomime
R.E.M's,
"The Great Beyond"
You and me
With wings are not free
You and me
With wings on our feet
