Sometimes, in the dead of the night I'm dreaming that I'm flying at the speed of light In two seconds I'm brushing past the face of the moon 8 Seconds flat on the surface of Mars I'm kicking up the red dust, drinkin in bars I lean back and raise a toast to the stars tonight When I'm dreamin' at the speed of light Somedays, I'd just settle for the speed of sound I'd step off this porch and blow a kiss to this whole damn town I'd let off one of them sonic booms And break all the windows in the living rooms And blow off the hats of the boys at the old fairgrounds Laughin' at the speed of sound And you say "go Why dont you go then? If you want to go, why dont you decide? Pick a road, just decide Is it a train? Or a plane? or a bride? Decide Decide Decide Decide" Your love makes me move at the speed of trees I've laid down some roots, grown a head full of make believes But if it weren't for that face of yours I'd be rattlin' windows and blowin' down doors Look at me here I'm planted square down on my knees On my knees On my knees I'm asking for the speed of trees The speed of trees
