Galileo

Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was looking 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 lifetime

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 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 annihalation 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

Or 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 (till my soul gets it right)

Can any human being ever reach the highest light

Except for Galileo (resting soul)

Resting soul (of Galileo)

King of night vision

King of insight

How long? (till my soul gets it right) (till we reach the highest light)

How long? (till my soul gets it right) (till we reach the hightest light)
