1. 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 this side of this mountain of mine
2. 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 don't stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
Before I say things that I made up
R: And all that noise all that sound
All those places that I have 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
3. Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
All the buildings that you put up
Japan and China were all lit up
The first sign that I couldn't read
All the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles puzzling me
R: And all that noise...
Ah when you see it then you'll understand
*: All those signs I knew what they meant
Somethings you can't invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh
Ooh
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
