Galileo
Indigo Girls Song Lyrics
Words and Music: Emily Saliers 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) How long? |
