Galileo

Galileo's head was on the block The crime was lookin' up the truth And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode I try to trace them to my youth 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 you had to bring up reincarnation Over a couple of beers the other night And now I'm serving time for mistakes Made by another in another life time 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 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 life time I'm still not right 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 '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 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 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 But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration To let the next life off the hook Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life I think I'll write a Book 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 How long 'til my soul gets it right Can any human being ever reach the highest light Except for Galileo, God rest his soul King of the night vision, king of insight How long How long
