How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?

And 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,
and 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,
oh 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
Ah 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,
Ah when you see it then you'll understand
