Speed Of Sound Songtext / Lyric

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
