So tired, soul searching
~#**************#~
I followed sounds to a cathedral
~#**************#~
Imagine my surprise to find
~#**************#~
That they were produced by Brian Eno
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
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, youd probably know
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Because if I was telling lies, itd probably show
~#**************#~
[Chorus 1]
~#**************#~
I can tell when hes kind of smiling
~#**************#~
But what does he know? (What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Were always one step behind him, hes Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
When I was stuck hed 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus 2]
~#**************#~
Dipping swords in metaphors, yeah, but what does he know?
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Were always one step behind him, hes Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
He promised pretty worlds and all the silence I could dream of
~#**************#~
Brian Peter George St. John Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno
~#**************#~
[Chorus 3]
~#**************#~
Well, all alone by the oldest stone where the shade trees grow
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
The creature by the water feature with the ghostly glow
~#**************#~
(Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
Making sure that times preserved well, we reap what we sow
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Were always one step behind him, hes Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
Yeah, I can tell that hes doing well, yeah, but what does he know?
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Im always one step behind him, hes Brian Eno
~#**************#~
(Brian Eno)
~#**************#~
Yeah, he dips swords in metaphors yeah, but what does he know?
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Id like to see him plant a forest, because I dont know
~#**************#~
Brian Eno
~#**************#~
I can tell that hes trying to smile, but what does he know?
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Ill always be a step behind him, Brian Eno
~#**************#~
(Brian Eno) Yeah
~#**************#~
Hes making sure that times preserved well, we reap what we sow
~#**************#~
(What does he know?)
~#**************#~
Im always one step behind him, because I dont know
~#**************#~
What Brian Enos
~#**************#~
