The Other End (Of The Telescope)

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 its 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
