'galileo'

...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...

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 that kind of light?...
