Indigo Girls – Galileo Lyrics  Share

From Indigo Girls's album: Rites Of Passage

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

[ Galileo lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/i/indigo-girls/galileo/ ]
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?
