Karaoké Galileo Indigo Girls

Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was looking up for 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

And then 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

'Cos 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 'til 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

How long

How long
