Calendar hung on the wall Keep calm and carry on It says to the hall All those numbers and squares A casino at work My bet's on tomorrow We could all use a perk Oh, the onion of opinion stings my eyes And the layers of love take me by surprise Will you teach me the words, stay by my side My feet are so tired, tired, tired, tired, tired Night-shift spread on my skin But it still seems to peel I guess it's too thin Or it's just the season And I am a snake Shedding my sins Wipe me clean as a slate Oh, the onion of opinion stings my eyes And the layers of love take me by surprise Won't you teach me the words, stay by my side My feet are so tired, tired, tired, tired, tired You and I, we don't go way back But I picked a card And you held the pack Let's sing for the jokers And queens of this town They're keeping me up I need to lie down Oh, the onion of opinion and the layers of love Sting my eyes, take me by surprise Teach me the words, lay by my side My feet are so tired, tired, tired, tired
