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've 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
Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get is a chance you seize, 
How long am I gonna can stand with my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop before I see thing the right way up

All that noise, all that sound
All those places that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show 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 or 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 the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe but others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, all that sound
All those places that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show 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
Something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent, oh...
Words go flying at the speed of sound
To show 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
