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

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 the world was flat
And all the colors bled away and that was that
And in time, I could only believe in one thing
The sky was just phosphorous 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
