Speed Of Sound Lyrics

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've never tried then you'll never know How long do I have to climb Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night Planets are moving at the speed of light Climb up, up in the trees Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand With my head stuck under the sand? I'll stop before I can stop Or before I see things the right way up
All that noise and all that sound All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand
Ideas that you'll never find Or the inventors could never design The buildings that you put up Or Japan and China, all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read Or a light that I couldn't see Some things you have to believe But others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise and all that sound All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
All those signs I knew what they meant Some things you can't invent Some get made and some get sent, ooh
Birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
