Death Letter Blues

[00:18.71] Galileo's head was on the block
[00:23.38] The crime was lookin' up the truth
[00:27.28] And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
[00:32.25] I try to trace them to my youth
[00:37.67] And then you had to bring up reincarnation
[00:41.78] Over a couple of beers the other night
[00:46.29] And now I'm serving time for mistakes
[00:50.10] Made by another in another life time
[00:56.31] How long 'til my soul gets it right
[01:00.02] Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
[01:04.72] I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision
[01:12.63] King of insight
[01:17.99] And then I think about my fear of motion
[01:22.81] Which I never could explain
[01:27.84] Some other fool across the ocean years ago
[01:31.91] Must have crashed his little airplane
[01:36.63] How long 'til my soul gets it right
[01:40.31] Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
[01:44.91] I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision
[01:52.65] King of insight
[01:56.37] I'm not making a joke
[01:58.80] You know me I take everything so seriously
[02:04.97] If we wait for the time 'til all souls get it right
[02:09.62] Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my life time
[02:16.54] I'm still not right
[02:50.60] I offer thanks to those before me
[02:55.06] That's all I've got to say
[02:58.91] 'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
[03:04.28] Now I have to pay
[03:08.33] But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
[03:12.45] To let the next life off the hook
[03:17.28] Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life
[03:22.83] I think I'll write a book
[03:26.30] How long 'til my soul gets it right
[03:31.03] Can any human being ever reach the highest light
[03:35.12] Except for Galileo, God rest his soul
[03:40.34] King of the night vision, king of insight
[03:47.40] How long (until my soul gets it right)
[03:52.37] How long (until my soul gets it right)
[03:56.68] How long
