Brian Eno (Sonic Boom Remix)

So tired, soul searching

I followed sounds to a cathedral

Imagine my surprise to find

That they were produced 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

Because if I was telling lies, it'd probably show

I can tell when 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 the ghostly glow

(Brian Eno)

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 doing 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, he dips swords in metaphors yeah, but what does he know?

(What does he know?)

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

Brian Eno

He's making sure that time's preserved well, we reap what we sow

(What does he know?)

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

Brian Eno

Yeah, I can tell that he's trying to smile, but what does he know?

(What does he know?)

I'll 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?)
