 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
 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 every  -  thing  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
 But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
 To let the next life off the hook
 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 the highest light?
 Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul)
 King of night  vision,  king of insight
 How long  till my soul  gets it right...
 How long  till I meet  that highest light...
 How long?
