Speed Of Sound

1. 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 know

How long do I have to climb

Up on this side of this mountain of mine

2. Look up I look up at night

Planets are moving at the speed of light

Come up up in the trees

Every chance that you get is a chance you seize

How long I don't stand

With my head stuck under the sand

I start before I can stop

Before I say things that I made up

R: And all that noise all that sound

All those places that I have 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

3. Ideas that you'll never find

All the inventors could never design

All the buildings that you put up

Japan and China were all lit up

The first sign that I couldn't read

All the light that I couldn't see

Some things you have to believe

But others are puzzles puzzling me

R: And all that noise...

Ah when you see it then you'll understand

*: All those signs I knew what they meant

Somethings you can't invent

Some get made and some get sent ooh

Ooh

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
