Lyrics and Chords


[ Ebdim7 = ; D11 =  ]

[Capo 4]

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 

/ C G F G / / / Am Em F G / 

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

{Refrain}
How long 'til 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 

/ C G F G / / Am Em D11 - / F G C G F G / 

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

{Refrain}

... / F G C - / 

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 

/ Am - F - / Ebdim7 - F - / 1st / G F G F / C G F G / /

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 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 'til my soul gets it right 
Can any human being ever reach the highest light
Except for Galileo, God rest his soul
    The resting soul of Galileo 
King of night vision, king of insight

How long
    'Til my soul gets it right, 'til we reach the highest light
How long
    'Til my soul gets it right, 'til we reach the highest light
How long
