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 c
ome 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
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
