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 likeWhere 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 upAll that noise and all that sound
All those places I got foundAnd 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 understandIdeas that you'll never find

Or the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Or Japan and China, all lit upThe 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 meAll that noise and all that sound
All those places I got foundAnd 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 understandAll those signs I knew what they meant
Some things you can't invent
Some get made and some get sent, oohBirds 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
