Speed Of Sound

Speed Of Sound Lyrics

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide,
or 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 the side
of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night.
Planets are movin' at
the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees if
the chance that you get is
the chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand with
my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things that I made up.

And all that noise, all that sound . . .
All those places like I found . . .
Birds come flyin' at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flyin' from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand.

Ideas that you'll never find,
all the inventors can never design
the buildings that you put up.
Japan and China are all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
all the light that I couldn't see.
Some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles,
puzzlin' me.

All that noise and all that sound . . .
All those places like I found . . .
Birds go flyin' at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began.
Birds go flyin' 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,
ohh . . .
And birds go flyin' at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flyin' from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand.
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand.
