All that noise and all that sound
To show you how it all began
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
Or before I see things the right way up
If you could see it then you'd understand
Or the inventors could never design
Some get made and some get sent, ooh
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
If you could see it then you'd understand
Birds go flying at the speed of sound
Some things you can't invent
How long do I have to climb
The sign that I couldn't read
All those places I got found
Birds came flying from the underground
Birds came flying from the underground
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
All those signs I knew what they meant
Planets are moving at the speed of light
To show you how it all began
Ideas that you'll never find
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
Where to? Where do I go?
Climb up, up in the trees
I'll stop before I can stop
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Before I know what it feels like
How long before you decide?
How long am I gonna stand
If you could see it then you'd understand
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
The buildings that you put up
All that noise and all that sound
Or a light that I couldn't see
If you've never tried then you'll never know
Or Japan and China, all lit up
With my head stuck under the sand?
Birds came flying from the underground
Some things you have to believe
To show you how it all began
Look up, I look up at night
