Brian Eno - Cornelius Mix

Lyrics

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?
 We're always one step behind him
 He's 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?
 We're always one step behind him
 He's 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
 The creature by the water
 Feature with a ghostly glow
 Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well
 We reap what we sow
 We're always one step behind him
 He's Brian Eno
 Yeah, I can tell that [Incomprehensible], yeah
 But what does he know?
 I'm always one step behind him
 He's Brian Eno
 Yeah, dipping swords in metaphors, yeah
 But what does he know?
 [Incomprehensible] blind to foolish 'cause I don't know
 Brian Eno
 I can tell that he's kind of smiling
 But what does he know?
 I will always be a step behind him
 He's Brian Eno
 Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well
 We reap what we sow
 I'm always one step behind him
 'Cause I don't know Brian Eno
