The song of the week for September 2nd through 8th is
GALILEO by
THE INDIGO GIRLS
Galileo's head was on the block
The crime was looking up the truth
As the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth
Then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
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
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 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
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 till my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting sould of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight
How long, how long, how long
