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
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
All the inventors

could never design
The buildings that you put up
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 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
