Galileo (live) Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Galileo's head was on the block 

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 the reincarnation 

Over a couple of beers the other night 

And now I'm serving time for mistakes 

Made by another in another lifetime, come on 

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 

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 

'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime 

Now I have to pay 

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 till my soul gets it right 

Any human being ever reach the highest light 

Except for Galileo, God rest his soul 

(Except for the resting soul of Galileo) 

King of night vision, king of insight 

How long 

(Till my soul gets it right) 

How long, yeah 

(Till my soul gets it right) 

How long
