0:01So tired
0:02Soul searching
0:04I followed the sounds to a cathedral
0:07Imagine my surprise to find
0:10That they were produced by Brian Eno
0:31Past the gates
0:33Quite stark
0:34The roses trimmed and the windows dark
0:36I see the walls through a limestone crack
0:39Not red not blue not yellow but black
0:42And all the spaces left for you
0:47If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know
0:51He taught me many things
0:53The wisdom of o' bleak stratagems
0:56The prophet of a sapphire soul
0:59Presented through creative freedoms
1:02And everything I say is true
1:07'Cuz if I was telling lies it'd probably show
1:11I can tell that he's kind of smiling
1:13But what does he know what does he know
1:16We're always one step behind him he's Brian Eno
1:20Brian Eno Brian Eno Brian Eno
1:27When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses
1:32Tinctures and formulas to ditch the choir and flip the verses
1:37My whole foundation came unglued
1:43When I tried to humanize by ambient light
1:46Dipping swords in metaphors yeah
1:49But what does he know what does he know
1:52We're always one step behind Brian Eno
1:55Brian Eno Brian Eno Brian Eno
2:45He promised pretty worlds and all the silence
2:48I could dream of Brian peter George St John Le
2:52Baptiste De La Salle Eno
2:54Oh no what should can I
2:59Should don't konw
3:01I can say it
3:04Well all alone by the oldest stone where the shade
3:07Trees grow
3:08What does he know
3:10Creature by the water feature with a ghostly glow
3:13I grow
3:14Yeah it's making sure that time's preserved
3:17Well we reap what we sow
3:19What does he know
3:20We're always one step behind him he's Brian Eno
3:24Brian Eno Brian Eno Brian Eno
