Recorded at the Tyler Street warehouse (Northeast Minneapolis) in Sept 2006, first demo for this song, recorded straight into built in mic on Macbook, pumped through Audition in 2023 for "subtle clarity."

lyrics

Tired of trying blues

baby tired of trying
baby tired of pain
baby tried a suitcase
baby try to can of paint
baby tried a can of the good stuff
the good ship lollipop

we’re all little devils
in our roles as earthly things
we’ve all got our demons
we’ve all got our dreams
Cling to those dreams and they’ll keep you up all night
that’s all right cause when you wake up you won’t remember a word

We all crave it
we all needs it too.
So said my guy Lonnie
He was talking about love out back by the woodshed
It’s always good Craic with Lonnie
Till he gets a little mad
It’s always good Craic with Lonnie
Till he gets so very mad.
“Can you believe the nerve!?”

Baby tired of trying
Baby’s got the tired of trying blues
and it’s a real kick
it’s a real snare
and it’s a real floor
and it’s a real door.
You can walk out anytime you want
can you believe the nerve?
