the other end (of the telescope)

Lyrics

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, 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
