Wittgenstein's Ladder Ludwig's Jig (MP3)

A song inspired by this philosophical conversation on metaphysics as it relates to W.B. Yeats and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

lyrics

I've climbed up Ludwig's Ladder,
And, down the other side,
Growing ever sadder,
As I'm searching the whole worldwide.

Must be time to step-up,
Certainly not to give-up.
(Give up?
That thought makes me wanna...
Throw-up.)

Chorus

I've got to take the next step,
On my own,
Though not exactly,
All alone.

Chorus

I've got to have vigor and pep,
Not to own,
But, matter-of-factly,
To loan.

Chorus

Oh, Ludwig,
It's hard for me to believe.
No, don't throw in the towel,
Not for a long while.
