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
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 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'm thinking
about my fear of motion
For 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 our souls get it right
then at least I know
they'll be no nuclear
iniliation 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
King of night vision
King of insight
How long
till my soul gets it right
How long
till my soul gets it right
How lo.....ng
