Andrew Vanwyngarden - Brian Eno lyrics

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? [Chorus] We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno Brian Eno [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno Brian Eno [Verse 3] He promised pretty worlds and all the silence I could dream of Brian Peter George St. John Le Baptiste de la Sale Eno Well, all alone by the oldest stone where the shade trees grow The creature by the water feature with the ghostly glow Making sure that time's preserved well, we reap what we sow [Chorus] We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno Brian Eno [Outro] I can tell that he's doing well yeah, what does he know? I'm always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno He dips swords in metaphors yeah, but what does he know? I'd like to see him plant a forest, because I don't know Brian Eno I can tell that he's trying to smile, but what does he know? I'll always be a step behind him, Brian Eno! He's making sure that time's preserved well, we reap what we sow I'm always one step behind him, because I don't know What Brian Enos
