Lyrics for Song: I'm Tired Of Your Stuff
Lyrics for Album: Overcoats [1975]
You been slippin' around a bit
You been sayin' things that just don't fit
You been handin' me the same old line
About the proper place and the proper time
You been tellin' me a bunch of lies
I bet you thot that I was hypnotized
CHORUS:
Well, my eyes is wide open, and I can see
You been tryin' to make a fool of me
I'm gettin sick, I've had enough
I'm tired of your stuff
I know you think that you're a movie queen
Well, I'm fed up with all your Hollywood dreams
You're just an actress full of double talk
An angel's smile and a devil's walk
I know you think I can't walk out the door
But honey, I've seen this movie before
CHORUS
Now I'm tryin' to get some sleep, but I can't get no rest
You got my head all in a mess
I'd count the sheep, but they all leavin' town
And you're the wolf that run my dreams around
But, I'll be sleepin' for a month or two
Just as soon as I get rid of you
CHORUS
