Indigo Girls - Galileo Lyrics
Galileos head was on the blockThe crime was looking up for truthAnd as the bombshells of my daily fears explodeI try to trace them to my youthAnd then you had to bring up reincarnationOver a couple of beers the other nightAnd now Im serving time for mistakesMade by another in another lifetimeHow long till my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach that kind of lightI call on the resting soul of galileoKing of night vision, king of insightAnd then I think about my fear of motionWhich I never could explainSome other fool across the ocean years agoMust have crashed his little airplaneHow long till my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach that kind of lightI call on the resting soul of galileoKing of night vision, king of insightIm not making a joke, you know meI take everything so seriouslyIf we wait for the time till all souls get it rightThen at least I know therell be no nuclear annihilationIn my lifetime Im still not rightI offer thanks to those before meThats all Ive got to saycause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetimeNow I have to payBut then again it feels like some sort of inspirationTo let the next life off the hookBut shell say look what I had to overcome from my last lifeI think Ill write a bookHow long till my soul gets it rightCan any human being ever reach the highest lightExcept for galileo God rest his soul(except for the resting soul of galileo)King of night vision, king of insightHow 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
