I've Been Tired

[Verse 1: Black Francis] One, two, three She's a real left-winger 'Cause she been down south And held peasants in her arms She said, "I could tell you stories that could make you cry" "What about you?" I said, "Me too" "I could tell you a story that will make you cry" And she sighed, "Ah" [Verse 2: Black Francis] I said, "I wanna 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—" [Chorus: Black Francis] I've been tired, I've been tired I've been tired, I've been tired I've been tired, I've been tired [Verse 3: Black Francis] I tell a tale of a girl, but I call 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 raised me She'll make you feel like Solomon Beware your babies even if you have no one [Bridge: Kim Deal] And while we're at it, baby Why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears? [Bridge: Black Francis] You don't want to sleep after setting my loins on fire But that's okay, because— [Chorus: Black Francis] 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 [Outro: Black Francis] Really tired Really tired T-I-R-E-D spells it Spells it
