Title: Speed Of Sound

how long before I get in

before it starts, before I begin

how long before we decide

before I know what it feels like

where do, where do I go

if you never tried then you'll never know

how long do I have to climb

up on this side of this mountain of mine

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 can stand

with my head stuck under the sand

I start before I can stop

before I say things that I made up

and all that noise, all that sound

all these pieces that i have found

and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

ideas that you'll never find

all the inventors could never design

the buildings that you put up

Japan and China were all lit up

the sign that I couldn't read

all the land that I couldn't see

some things you have to believe

but others are puzzles, puzzling me

and all that noise, all that sound

all those pieces that I have found

and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come 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

something you can't invent

something [...], something [...]

ooh

words go flying at the speed of sound

to show 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
