Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound.
What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound.
Suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space.
Faster than sound
You're turning my mind all around
Faster than sound
'Cause life is faster than sound.
Faster than sound
Faster than sound
Light is faster than sound
My head to the ground
Mind going round
Faster than sound.
What goes up must go down
World goes around
Sun shines around
Faster than sound.
Whoa, suddenly I see your face
Faster than sound
Through the emptiness of space.
Faster than sound
You're turning my mind all around,
Faster than sound
'Cause life is faster than sound.
Faster than sound
Faster than sound
