And then I think about my fear of motion
King of night vision, King of insight
How long?
(Till my soul gets it right)
I offer thanks to those before me

I'm not makin' a joke, you know me
I think I'll write a book"
(My soul gets it right?)
Galileo's head was on the block
(Till we reach the highest light)
In my lifetime I'm still not right
To let the next life off the hook
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
How long?
King of night vision, King of insight
But she'll say, "Look what I had to overcome from my last life
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
The crime was lookin' up for truth
Which I never could explain
King of night vision, King of insight
(Till we reach the highest light)
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
Must have crashed his little airplane
(Till my soul gets it right)
That's all I've got to say
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
Can any human being ever reach the highest light?
(Except for the restin' soul of Galileo)
I try to trace them to my youth
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime
I call on the restin' soul of Galileo
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
How long till my soul gets it right?
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
How long?
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right
Now I have to pay
Over a couple of beers the other nights
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I take everything so seriously
How long till my soul gets it right?
I call on the restin' soul of Galileo
Except for Galileo God rest his soul
