Galileo's head was on the block |
|
The crime was looking up for truth |
|
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode |
|
I try to trace them to my youth |
|
And then you had to bring up reincarnation |
|
Over a couple of beers the other night |
|
And now i'm serving time for mistakes |
|
How long till my soul gets it right |
|
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light |
|
I call on the resting soul of galileo |
|
King of night vision, king of insight |
|
And then i think about my fear of motion |
|
Which i never could explain |
|
Some other fool across the ocean years ago |
|
Must have crashed his little airplane |
|
How long till my soul gets it right |
|
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light |
|
I call on the resting soul of galileo |
|
King of night vision, king of insight |
|
I'm not making a joke, you know me |
|
I take everything so seriously |
|
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right |
|
Then at least i know there'll be no nuclear annihilation |
|
In my lifetime i'm still not right |
|
I offer thanks to those before me |
|
That's all i've got to say |
|
'cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime |
|
Now i have to pay |
|
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration |
|
To let the next life off the hook |
|
But she'll say "look what i had to overcome from my last life |
|
I think i'll write a book" |
|
How long till my soul gets it right |
|
Can any human being ever reach the highest light |
|
Except for galileo god rest his soul |
|
(except for the resting soul of galileo) |
|
King of night vision, king of insight |
|
How long |
|
(till my soul gets it right) |
|
[til we reach the highest light] |
|
How long |
|
(till my soul gets it right) |
|
[til we reach the highest light] |
|
How long |
