Getting Wise - Yves Klein Blue

Oh, you’re steeped in the winters chase

Even before the Tenenbaum has all dried up,

But I’m going to teach to you different this time

I’m awful clever as you almost certainly know.

Cos if you want to walk that way,

know that I will meet you there half way or none.

Yes I’m going to teach you different in this life,

There’s more than one way to go through it, don’t go it alone!

There are few who will know where their heart truly lie,

For the rest there’s no hope: they can barely decide!

So a few um and ah so they never ever start!

So if you want my advice you don’t have to ask me twice Ill tell you darling:

(And then we all say)

Were getting wise and finding our feet.

Steeped in the winters law, do you realize you ride with dreamers on your high

horse?

Well I’m gonna teach you different, of course;

You wouldn’t act so clever if it weren’t for tomorrow.

And you want to walk that way, with all that virtue there’s no hours left in

the day!

Oh when all the sweat you break is just paying someone else’s way,

Its fine to fall in line, if its for your own sake!

Or else run, you could hide, you could see what its like,

You’ll soon find its no fun to have fun all the time!

Go find God in some form, let his love keep you warm,

Its entirely your call if he calls you.

But if you would desire in all things to be wise you’ll be none the wiser if

you ever get there,

The truth of your idols is most of them died before anybody saw.

Yes there are few who will know where their hearts truly lie,

much less I, I’m not nearly as clever as Id like.

So what I mean to say is I don’t know what to say!

But listen

Were getting wise and finding our feet,

(and then we all say)

If you want to walk that way,

Were getting wise and finding our feet.

Were getting wiser well find out one of these days.

So walk.

If you want to walk that way,

Were getting wise and finding our feet.
