Brian Eno

So tired, soul searching

I followed the sounds to a cathedral

Imagine my surprise to find that they were produce by Brian Eno

Past the gates, quite stark

The roses trimmed and the windows dark

I see the walls through a limestone crack

Not red, not blue, not yellow but black

And all the spaces left for you

If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

He taught me many things

The wisdom of oblique stratagems

The prophet of a sapphire soul

Presented through creative freedoms

And everything I say is true

'Cause if I was telling lies it'd probably show

I can tell that he's kind of smiling

But what does he know? (What does he know?)

We're always one step behind him

He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses

Tinctures and formulas to ditch the chori and flip the verses

My whole foundation came unglued

When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Dipping swords in metaphors, yeah

But what does he know? (What does he know?)

We're always one step behind him

He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

He promised pretty worlds

And all the silence I could dream of

Brian Peter, George St. John

Le Baptiste De La Salle Eno

Well, all alone by the oldest stone

Where the shade trees grow (What does he know?)

The creature by the water

Feature with a ghostly glow

Brian Eno

Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well

We reap what we sow (What does he know?)

We're always one step behind him

He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Yeah, I can tell that he's dreaming well, yeah

But what does he know? (What does he know?)

I'm always one step behind him

He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Yeah, dipping swords in metaphors, yeah

But what does he know? (What does he know?)

I'd like to see him plant a forest, 'cause I don't know

Brian Eno

I can tell that he's trying to smile

But what does he know? (What does he know?)

I will always be a step behind him

Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well

We reap what we sow (What does he know?)

I'm always one step behind him

'Cause I don't know Brian Eno
