Dm So tired A#m Soul searching Am I followed the sounds to a cathedral Dm A#m Imagine my surprise to find that Am they were produded by Brian Eno Dm Past the gates A#m Quite stark Am The roses trimmed and the windows dark Dm A#m I see the walls through a limestone crack Am Not red, not blue, not yellow, but black Gm Am And all the space left for you Gm 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 Chorus: D Bm I can tell that he's kind of smiling G But what does he know? D Bm We're always one step behind him G He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno) A Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)
