"Getting Started" lyrics - BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE

Oo down Tipi Town
Hoping around
Seeking inspiration
I been out here on the edge of space,
In the human race
I guess I'd gotten lonely but

That's okay
Now it's not the way it should be and
That's okay
I know it's not the way it could be but
That's okay
It's pretty good for kindergarten and
That's okay
Come on, we're only getting started

Thumb-hand, human band
Can understand
Out among the far locations that the
Music's Heaven-sent we can
Fly on instruments
Beyond our isolation and

That's okay
No it's not the way it could be but
That's okay
Here and now it's how it is and
That's okay
It's pretty good for kindergarten and
That's okay
Come on, we're only getting started

Womb-world paradigm
Understand in time
It's a sweet investigation
We're learning rope by rope
Climbing hope by hope
In every combination and

That's okay
No it's not the way it should be but
That's okay
It's wild and it's unique and
That's okay
Love's the magic number and
That's okay
Come on, We're only getting started.

That's okay
Now it's not the way it should be and
That's okay
I know it's not the way it could be but
That's okay
It's pretty good for kindergarten and
That's okay
Come on, we're only getting started
That's okay
We're only getting started
That's okay
We're only getting started
That's okay
We're only getting started
