== 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? (What does he know?) 
We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno (Brian Eno) 
Brian Eno (Brian Eno) 
When I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses 
Tinctures and formulas to ditch the chousi 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? 
(What does he know?) 
We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno (Brian Eno) 
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 
(What does he know?) 
The creature by the water feature with the ghostly glow 
(Brian Eno) 
Making sure that time's preserved well, we reap what we sow 
(What does he know?) 
We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno (Brian Eno) 
Yeah, I can tell that he's doing well, yeah, but what does he know? 
(What does he know?) 
I'm always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno 
(Brian Eno) 
Yeah, he dips swords in metaphors yeah, but what does he know? 
(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? 
(What does he know?) 
I'll always be a step behind him, Brian Eno 
(Brian Eno) Yeah 
He's making sure that time's preserved well, we reap what we sow 
(What does he know?) 
I'm always one step behind him, because I don't know 
What Brian Enos
