We Real Cool Lyrics - Push The Sky Away - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Who took your measurements? 

From your toes to the top of your head 

Yeah, you know 

Who bought you clothes and new shoes 

And wrote you a book you never read 

Yeah, you know 

Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool 

On the far side of the morning, 

Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool 

Now I hope you're listening, are you?

Who was it you called the good shepherd, 

Rounding up the kids for their meal 

Who chased your shadow running out behind 

Clinging to your high flying heels 

Your high flying, high flying, high flying heels 

Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool 

On the far side of the morning, who was it 

Yeah you know, we real cool 

And I hope you're listening too 

Who measured the distance from the planets 

Right down to your big blue spinning world 

And heartbeats and tears and nervous laughter 

Spilling down all over you, girl 

Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool 

And the world keeps on turning 

Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool 

And I hope you're listening, are you? 

Sirius is 8.6 light years away 

Arcturas is 37 

The past is the past and it's here to stay 

Wikipedia's heaven 

When you don't want to remember, you know 

On the far side of the morning 

Who was it, yea you know, we real cool 

And I hope you hear me, and you'll call 

Yeah, we real cool 

Yeah, we real, real cool
