Galileo - Pictures in My Head Lyrics

2024 world premiere
Galileo the Musical - Pictures in My Head Lyrics

GALILEO:
How come I'm now the main attraction
How come I am now the focal zone
For all the world's illumination
Yet truth is hard to bear

You see I have these mass eruptions
Of crazy thoughts inside my head
I didn't plan the mass destruction
Of the universe we knew

Pray God, how can I flee
These pictures in my head I see
Sane truth from madness flows
A future I'm so scared, the world to show

Copernicus was damned a traitor
A liar, cheat and heretic
A man destroyed by his creator
The universe was his

Why do we worship ancient Greeks
With firmaments of crystal spheres
If I could prove the lies and speak
Of the visions I have seen

Pray God, how can I flee
These pictures in my head I see
Why should I be the one
To damn the world to move
Around the sun

So why not smash this mad invention
And meekly bow and toe the line
No, it was not my intention
To snub authority

Pray God, how can I flee
These pictures in my head I see
Sane truth from madness flows
A future I'm so scared, the world to show

Pray God, how can I flee
These pictures in my head I see
Why should I be the one
To change the universe

Galileo the Musical Lyrics

In the Night
Forbidden
We Only Want to Know
Doin' the Maths
The Man with His Head in the Stars
Science Impossible
Push Back the Frontiers
Heaven Needs Me
Never Give Up
Pictures in My Head
The Magic Tube
New Age
Verdict Compromise
1633: The Trial
You Had It All
A Life in Flames
Cosimo's Surprise
