Shall we agree that just this once
|
I'm gonna change my life
|
Until it's just as tiny or
|
Important as you like
|
And in time, we won't even recall that we spoke
|
Words that turned out to be as big as smoke
|
Like smoke, disappears in the air
|
There's always something smouldering somewhere
|
|
I know it don't make a difference to you
|
But oh, it sure made a difference to me
|
You'll see me off in the distance, I hope
|
At the other end
|
At the other end of the telescope
|
|
There was a time not long ago
|
I dreamt that the world was flat
|
And all the colours bled away
|
And that was that
|
And in time, I could only believe in one thing
|
The sky was just phosphourus stars hung on strings
|
And you swore that they'd always be mine
|
When you can pull them down anytime
|
|
I know it don't make a difference to you
|
But oh, it sure made a difference to me
|
You'll see me off in the distance, I hope
|
At the other end
|
At the other end of the telescope
|
|
There, there baby now, don't say a word
|
Lie down, baby, your vision is blurred
|
Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
|
I don't want to hurt you now
|
But I think you're shrinking (I think you're shrinking)
|
|
You're half-naked ambition and
|
You're half out of your wits
|
And though your wristwatch always works
|
Your necktie never fits
|
Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up
|
And when I call, I never noticed you could be so small
|
The answer was under your nose
|
But the question never arose
|
|
I know it don't make a difference to you
|
But oh, it sure made a difference to me
|
When you find me here at the end of my rope
|
When the head and heart of it finally elope
|
You can see us off in the distance, I hope
|
At the other end
|
At the other end of the telescope
|
