(Dead Tired)
Jet lag and too little sleep
Going to a con
God it's half past one
I'm feeling

(Dead Tired)
Folks I've never met before
Behind ballroom doors
Talent and imagination

(Dead Tired)
Here's what I came here to do
Makin' dreams come true
Living music, warm friends

(Dead tired)
Jet lag and too little sleep
God it's half past one
God it's half past one

CHORUS
(God it's)a convention -- is it real?
It's a convention -- I do not know
Bring caffienation -- No time to sleep
With friends and music -- I will not weep

Far from bed and far from home
This is why to here i roamed
Filk convention ....ooooh, dead....
dead tired!

(Dead tired)
Music and high fantasy
Science fiction chants
Puns and geekery
I'm feelin'

(Dead Tired)
Consuite breakfast and corn chips
Glad I made the trip
It's been magic
I'm feeling

(Dead Tired)
Pictures for my conreport
New songs and chord charts
Sorry now to part (and feelin')

(Dead Tired)
Staying for the dead dog filk
God it's half past
God it's half past

(Chorus)

This is, of all things, a filk written about a con report, specifically Dave Weingart's conreport of his trip to Consonance in 2001 . I'd love to hear it performed by a full band one day...
