I've Been Tired

Pixies

One, two, three

She′s a real left winger 'cause she been down southAnd held peasants in her arms
She said, "I can tell you stories that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said, "me too"
"I could tell you a story that would make you cry"
And she sighed, "aah"

I said, "I want to be a singer like Lou Reed"
"I like Lou Reed" she said, sticking her tongue in my ear
"Let′s go, let's sit, let's talk, politics go so good with beer
And while we′re at it, baby
Why don′t you tell me one of your biggest fears?"

I said, "losing my penis to a whore with disease"
"Just kidding" I said, "losing my life to a whore with disease"
She said, "excuse me, please?"
I said, "losing my life to a whore with disease"
I said, "please"

"I'm a humble guy with healthy desire
Don′t give me no shit because..."

I've been tired, I′ve been tired, I've been tired
I′ve been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired"

I told my tale of a girl but I called her a woman
She′s a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk
Breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can′t escape her ways, she raise me

She'll make ya feel like Solomon
Beware your babies even if you have no one

(And while we′re at it baby
Why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?)

You don′t want to sleep after setting my loins on fire
Well, that's okay because...

I′ve been tired, I've been tired, I've been tired
I′ve been tired, I′ve been tired, I've been tired

I′ve been tired, I've been tired, I′ve been tired
I've been tired, I′ve been tired, I've been tired
I've been tired, I′ve been tired, I′ve been tired

TIRED spells it, spells it, spells it, spells it
