Pixies - I’ve Been Tired lyrics

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"

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 "

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 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

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
But 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

Really tired really tired
T-IR-E-D spells it spells it
