Lecture from a Lover

Stuck in the suburbia
God's taking the piss
I know it

My kid's
Eating glue
And the dog is howling a symphony

Honey's home
With the honey-do list
I am a slave

She's getting older
Ain't no attraction
I tune her out

And I can't bear
A lecture from a lover

I'm out of love
I'm thinking of
An escape route

I've been quiet
I've been well-behaved
No more

I want it
I need it
Something supple

Push past the kid
He calls me "Daddy"
I cringe

Wife tells me
Take out the trash
I lose my mind

I'm calling her names
She's crying
I don't regret it

Damn dog is barking
Old lady's weeping
God is laughing

You coulda made yourself
A better looking lover
(Don't tell me you love me, don't tell me you love me)

Are you surprised?
Can you blame me?
I'm the victim here
(Don't tell me you love me, don't tell me you love me)

Grab the keys
Start the engine
I'm pulling out
(Don't tell me you love me, don't tell me you love me)

I see the dog
Run into the street
I floor it
