verse

How long before I get in?
ื›ืžื” ื–ืžืŸ ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื™ ืžืชืงื‘ืœ?
Before it starts, before I begin
ืœืคื ื™ ืฉื–ื” ืžืชื—ื™ืœ, ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื™ ืžืชื—ื™ืœ?
How long before you decide?
ื›ืžื” ื–ืžืŸ ืขื“ ืฉืชื—ืœื™ื˜?
Before I know what it feels like
ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื“ืข ืื™ืš ื–ื” ืžืจื’ื™ืฉ
Where to, where do I go?
ืœืืŸ? ืœืืŸ ืื ื™ ื”ื•ืœืš?
If you never try, then you'll never know
ืื ืœื ื ื™ืกื™ืช ืœืขื•ืœื ืœื ืชื“ืข
How long do I have to climb
ื›ืžื” ื–ืžืŸ ืืฆื˜ืจืš ืœื˜ืคืก
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
ืขืœ ืฆืœืข ื”ื”ืจ ืฉืœ ืขืฆืžื™

verse

Look up, I look up at night
ื”ื‘ื˜ ืœืžืขืœื”, ืื ื™ ืžื‘ื™ื˜ ืœืžืขืœื” ื‘ืœื™ืœื”
Planets are moving at the speed of light
ื›ื•ื›ื‘ื™ื ื ืขื™ื ื‘ืžื”ื™ืจื•ืช ื”ืื•ืจ
Climb up, up in the trees
ื˜ืคืก ืœืžืขืœื”, ืขืœ ื”ืขืฆื™ื
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
ื‘ื›ืœ ื”ื–ื“ืžื ื•ืช ื›ื™ ืืชื” ืžืงื‘ืœ ืกื™ื›ื•ื™ ืฉืืชื” ืœืชืคื•ืก
How long am I gonna stand
ื›ืžื” ื–ืžืŸ ืื ื™ ืืขืžื•ื“
With my head stuck under the sand?
ืขื ืจืืฉื™ ื˜ืžื•ืŸ ื‘ื—ื•ืœ?
I'll start before I can stop
ืื ื™ ืืขืฆื•ืจ ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื•ื›ืœ ืœืขืฆื•ืจ
Or before I see things the right way up
ืื• ืœืคื ื™ ืฉืื ื™ ืืจืื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื‘ื“ืจื›ื ืœืžืขืœื”

pre-chorus

All that noise, and all that sound
ื›ืœ ื”ืจืขืฉ ื•ื›ืœ ื”ืฆืœื™ืœื™ื
All those places I got found
ื›ืœ ื”ืžืงื•ืžื•ืช ืฉื’ื™ืœื™ืชื™

chorus

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
ื•ืฆื™ืคื•ืจื™ื ืขืคื•ืช ื‘ืžื”ื™ืจื•ืช ื”ืงื•ืœ
To show you how it all began
ืœื”ืจืื•ืช ืœืš ืื™ืš ื”ื›ืœ ื”ืชื—ื™ืœ
Birds came flying from the underground
ืฆื™ืคื•ืจื™ื ืขืคื• ืžืžืชื—ืช ืœืื“ืžื”
If you could see it then you'd understand
ืื ืชืจืื” ื–ืืช ืื– ืชื•ื›ืœ ืœื”ื‘ื™ืŸ

verse

Ideas that you'll never find
ืจืขื™ื•ื ื•ืช ืฉืœืขื•ืœื ืœื ืชืžืฆื
All the inventors could never design
ืื• ื”ืžืžืฆื™ืื™ื ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืชื›ื ืŸ
The buildings that you put up
ื”ื‘ื ื™ื™ื ื™ื ืฉื‘ื ื™ืช
Japan and China, all lit up
ืื• ื™ืคืŸ ื•ืกื™ืŸ, ื”ืžื•ืืจื•ืช
The sign that I couldn't read
ื”ืฉืœื˜ ืฉืื ื™ ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืงืจื•ื
Or a light that I couldn't see
ืื• ืื•ืจ ืฉืื ื™ ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืจืื•ืช
Some things you have to believe
ื™ืฉ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืืชื” ืฆืจื™ืš ืœื”ืืžื™ืŸ ื‘ื”ื
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
ืื‘ืœ ืื—ืจื™ื ื”ื ื—ื™ื“ื•ืช, ืชืžื•ื”ื” ืœื™

pre-chorus

All that noise, and all that sound
ื›ืœ ื”ืจืขืฉ ื•ื›ืœ ื”ืฆืœื™ืœื™ื
All those places I got found

chorus

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
ื•ืฆื™ืคื•ืจื™ื ืขืคื•ืช ื‘ืžื”ื™ืจื•ืช ื”ืงื•ืœ
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
ืื•ื•, ืื ืชืจืื” ื–ืืช ืชื•ื›ืœ ืœื”ื‘ื™ืŸ

All those signs, I knew what they meant
ื›ืœ ื”ืฉืœื˜ื™ื ื”ืืœื” ืื ื™ ื™ื“ืขืชื™ ืžื” ื›ื•ื•ื ืชื
Some things you can't invent

Some get made, and some get sent

Ooh-ooh
ืื•ื™-ืื•ื™

chorus

Birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began
