Indigo Girls » Galileo Lyrics

Galileo's head was on the block the crime was looking up the truth
as the bombshells of my daily fears explode i try to trace them to
my youth then you had to bring up reincarnation over a couple of
beers the other night 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 annihilation in my lifetime I'm still not
right i offer thanks to those before me that's all i've got to say maybe
you squandered big bucks in your lifetime now I've got 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 can any human being ever reach
that kind of light i call on the resting sould of galileo king of night vision
king of insight how long, how long, how long
