Template:The Other End (Of The Telescope) ('Til Tuesday)

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
