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 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 start before
I can stop or
before I see things
the right way up
All that noise and
all that sound
All those places
I have found
And earth's gone flying
at the speed of sound
to show ya 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
All the inventors
could never design
The buildings
that you put up
Japan and China
all lit up
A sign that I couldn't read
or a light that
I couldn't see
Some things you
have to believe
When others are
puzzles puzzling me
All that noise
and all that sound
All those places
I have found
And earth's gone flying
at the speed of sound
to show ya 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
Earth's gone flying
at the speed of sound
to show ya
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 ...
