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
