Speed of Trees
SometimesIn my bed at nightI'm dreaming that I'm flyingAt the speed of lightIn two secondsI'm brushing pastThe face of the moon8 seconds flat onThe surface of MarsI'm kicking upThe red dustDrinkin' in barsI lean back and raise aToast to the stars tonightDreamin' at the speed of lightSomedays,I'd just settle forThe speed of soundI'd step off this porchAnd blow a kiss to this goddamn townI'd let offOne of them sonic boomsAnd break all the windowsSongtexteIn the living roomsAnd blow off the hatsOf the boysAt the old fairgroundsLaughin' at the speed of soundAnd You say,?Go.?Why don't you go then?If you want to goWhy don't you decide?Pick a road,DecideIs it a trainOr a planeOr a brideDecideDecideDecideYour love makes me move at theSpeed of treesI've laid down some rootsGrown a head fullOf make-believesBut up above meWhere the angels soarThey're rattlin' windowsBlowin' down doorsThey look at me hereI'm planted square downOn my kneesOn my kneesOn my kneesI'm asking for the speed of treesThe speedoftrees
