LYRICS
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 the 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
all that noise, and all that sound
all those pieces that i got found
and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began
birds came fly from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
ideas that you'll never find
all the inventors could never design
big 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
all that noise, and all that sound
all those pieces that I got found
and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began
birds came fly 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
ooh
and the earth gone 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
