Galileo
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 briing up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime

(Chorus)
How long 'til 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

(Chorus)

I'm not making a joke, you know me
I take everything so seriously
If we wait for the time 'til our souls get it right
Then at least I know there'll be
No nuclear annhilation 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 in the end I guess it's 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"

(
Chorus-2)
How long 'til my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach the highest light
Except for the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight


How long...
