Speed of Sound

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 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'll start before I can stop

Before I see things the right way up

All that noise, all that sound

All those places I got found

And birds go flyin' 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
