Speed of sound
How long before I get in,Before it starts, before I begin?How long before you decide,Before I know what it feels like?Where to, where do I go?If you never try, then you'll never knowHow long do I have to climb,Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at nightPlanets are moving at the speed of lightClimb up, up in the treesEvery chance that you getIs a chance you seizeHow long am I gonna standWith my head stuck under the sand?I'll start before I can stopBefore I see things the right way up
All that noise, and all that soundAll those places I got foundAnd birds go flying at the speed of soundTo show you how it all beganBirds came flying from the undergroundIf you could see it then you'd understand
Ideas that you'll never findAll the inventors could never designThe buildings that you put upJapan and China all lit upThe sign that I couldn't readOr the light that I couldn't seeSome things you have to believeBut others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise, and all that soundAll those places I got foundAnd birds go flying at the speed of soundTo show you how it all beganBirds came flying from the undergroundIf you could see it then you'd understandAh when you see it then you'll understand
All those signs, I knew what they meantSome things you can inventSome get made, and some get sentOoh
Birds go flying at the speed of soundTo show you how it all beganBirds came flying from the undergroundIf you could see it then you'd understandAh, when you see it then you'll understand
