Brian Eno - MGMT



" 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 space left for you
If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

He taught me many things

The wisdom of o bleak 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, 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. Brian Eno.

I can tell that he's doing well.

But what does he know?
I'm always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno
Brian Eno

Dipping swords in metaphors yeah but what does he know?


I can tell that he's kind of smiling

But what does he know?
I'm always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno
Brian Eno

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."
