"Speed Of Sound" Lyrics

"Speed Of Sound"

 

How long before i get in

before it starts before i begin

how long before we decide

before i know what it feels like

(..)where do i go

if you never tried then youll never know

how long do i have to climb

up on this mountain of mine

 

(...)

planets are moving at the speed of light

come on, up in the trees

every chance you get

is a chance you seize

how long can i stand

with my head stuck in the sand

i start before i can stop

before i say things that i made up

 

all the (...)

all the sound

all these peices, that i have found

and the earth is flying at the speed of sound

(..)

birds come flying from the underground

if you see it you could understand

 

ideas that youll never find

all the inventors could never design

all the buildings that you put up

Japan and China (...)

the first sign i couldnt read

all the land i couldnt see

(...)

but there are puzzles, puzzling me

 

all the (...)

all the sound

all those peices, that i have found

and the earth is flying at the speed of sound

(..)

birds come flying from the underground

if you see it then youd understand

 

all those signs i knew what they meant

something you cant invent

(...)

oooooooo

words go flying at the speed of sound

(...)

birds came flying from the underground

if you see it then youd understand

when you see it you will understand

 

 

sorry that is a really crappy quick attempt, theres lots of work to do but please everyone help.

Here are my suggestions (not sure about all of them)

for the first part

 

WHERE DO where do I go

How long do I have to climb

up on the (sight, side something like this or even up and inside) of this mountain of mine

feel free to copy and paste and fill in the corrections like you did in what if

Guys I gotta go now! It's late here and I still have to finish a work! Thanks rafaelfrombrazil and owenrees_73 for doing such a great job! Hope to see square one lyrics soon... See ya!! :D

I thought he sings 'the only chance that you get ...' instead of 'every chance...'. Not sure thuogh.

I think he says

"look up, I look up tonight planets are moving at the speed of the light"

all that noise

all that sound

all those pieces, that i have found

and the earth is gonna fly at the speed of sound

to show...

"Speed Of Sound"

 

How long before i get in

look up, I look up tonight

planets are moving at the speed of light

climb on, up in the trees

every chance that you get

how long can i stand

with my head stuck under the sand

i start before i can stop

before i say things that i made up

the first sign that i couldnt read

all the land that i couldnt see

something she'll have to believe

Up on this mountain of mine=Up on a side of this mountain of mine

 

look up, I look up tonight=look up, I look up at night

"planets are moving at the speed of light"

 

I suggest to make a petition for them to change this verse. It is physically impossible for a planet to move at the speed of light.

It could go

"photons are moving at the speed of light"

i think the one line is JAPAN AND CHINA, (ARE) ALL LIT UP!

This song's definetely gonna be a #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long before i get in

before it starts before i begin

how long before we decide

before i know what it feels like

Where do, where do i go

if you never tried then youll never know

how long do i have to climb

up on this side of this mountain of mine

 

Look up, i look up at night

planets are moving at the speed of light

come up, up in the trees

every chance you get

is a chance you seize

how long i can stand

with my head stuck under the sand

i start before i can stop

before i say things that i made up

 

all that noise

all that sound

all these peices, that i have found

and the earth is flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

 

ideas that youll 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 i couldnt read

all the land i couldnt see

Somethings should have to believe

but there are puzzles, puzzling me

 

all that noise

all that sound

all those peices, that i have found

and the earth is flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

 

all those signs i knew what they meant

something you cant invent

(...)

oooooooo

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 you would understand

when you see it then you`ll understand

 

Thats what i can hear :)

"Speed Of Sound"

 

how long before I get in

before it starts, before I begin

how long before we decide

before I know what it feels like

where do, where do I go

if you never tried then you'll never know

how long do I have to climb

up on this side of this mountain of mine

 

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 can stand

with my head stuck under the sand

I start before I can stop

before I say things that I made up

 

and all that noise, all that sound

all these pieces that i have found

and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come 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

all the buildings that you put up

Japan and China were all lit up

the first sign that I couldn't read

all the land that I couldn't see

somethings you have to believe

but others are puzzles, puzzling me

 

and all that noise, all that sound

all those pieces that I have found

and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound

to show how it all began

birds come flying from the underground

if you could see it then you'd understand

 

all those signs I knew what they meant

something you can't invent

something [...], something [...]

ooh

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
