Sometimes in the dead of the night I'm dreaming that I'm flying at the speed of light And in two seconds I'm brushing past the face of the moon Eight seconds flat on the surface of mars I'm kicking up the red dust I'm drinking in bars I lean back and raise a toast to the stars tonight When I'm dreaming at the speed of light Some days I 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 I'd blow off the hats of the boys at the old fair ground Laughing at the speed of sound And you'd say go Why don't you go there? If you want to go why don't 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 Lay down some roots, I've grown a head full of make believe But if it weren't for that face or yours I'd be rattling windows, blowing down doors Look at me here I'm planted square down on my knees Oooh, On my knees, ooh on my knees I'm asking for the speed of trees Trees, trees.
