  • 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
    Arcturus is 37
    The past is the past and it's here to stay
    Wikipedia is heaven
    When you don't want to remember no more
    On the far side of the morning
    Who was it, yeah you know we real cool
    And I hope you hear me, and you'll call
    Yeah, we real cool
    Yeah, we real, real cool Writer/s: Nicholas Cave, Warren Ellis
