[Start] [Intro] (I'm tired) (Oh, I'm so tired) [Verse 1] I am tired, that is clear Because, at certain stage people have to be tired Of what I am tired, I don't know It would not serve me at all to know Since the tiredness stays just the same The wound hurts as it hurts And not in function of the cause that produced it [Chorus] Yes, I am tired And ever so slightly smiling At the tiredness being only this In the body a wish for sleep In the soul a desire for not thinking And, to crown all, a luminous transparency Of the retrospective understanding [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] And the one luxury of not now having hopes? I am intelligent, that's all I have seen much and understood much of what I have seen And there is a certain pleasure even in tiredness this brings us That in the end, the head does still serve for something [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Yes, I am tired And ever so slightly smiling At the tiredness being only this In the body a wish for sleep In the soul a desire for not thinking And, to crown all, a luminous transparency Of the retrospective understanding [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 3] And the one luxury of not now having hopes? I am intelligent, that's all I have seen much and understood much of what I have seen And there is a certain pleasure even in tiredness this brings us That in the end, the head does still serve for something [Outro] (I'm tired) (Oh, I'm so tired) [End]
