lyrics

Tired Blood

Can’t take chances with the future
Sew up your hopes with a stained suture
Lie awake at night and wish you weren’t immoderate
Taking all those pills and wish you were a Jesuit
Tired blood
Tired blood

The tavern crowd is younger than you now
The shadows grow gray upon the wall
You try and sell your soul
Can’t find someone who’s interested
Try and watch TV but catharsis seems to be prevented
Tired blood
Tired blood

Blue eyes in the night
Red eyes in the morning
Your foot’s in the quicksand
A new day is dawning

All the social norms are so arbitrary
Everything you do just seems so temporary
No one will understand, they’re probably in the mess you’re in
Crisis line put you on hold, too late to turn lead into gold
Tired blood
Tired blood

Blue eyes in the night
Red eyes in the morning
Your foot’s in the quicksand
A new day is dawning

(John Robison)
