an unrehearsed universe

Escalation

You look tired 
Oh nothing much 
Same old same old at work
Something like that

Maybe next time
Yeah maybe next time 

Kept you late again
New boss is a ball-breaker
So not this weekend either
I’ll make it up to you

Too drunk to drive home
So call a cab

I forgot no big deal
It is a big deal
There’ll be another one
She only turns five once

You’re never around
I’m home all the time
In the den or on the phone
Someone has to provide

I don't want to hear your excuse
I don’t want to do this now

It relaxes me after work
Other men go home 
Maybe their wives nag less

Why is this my fault now
Not what I meant to say
I think it’s exactly what you meant

You think I’m stupid
What the fuck are you on about

The weekend trips
Business
The late night phone calls
Business

I want a divorce
What about the kids
Now you care
What does that mean

Nothing
