"Galileo"
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
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
[this shithead song makes me cry]
