Suburban Dream

It's pretty lonely being a wife
I dream I'll take this people mover
Across the border and drive
Stand at a bar and order a beer
But I'm just a lady and they'll forget I'm even here

So I buy weed just for kicks
And sell it to rich, white women with kids
Take the pills that are meant for my son
Gonna clean the house till morning comes
It's still not enough

Seven days in a suburban dream
Seven days just wishing I was seen
The kids are fed and the floors are clean
Seven days in a suburban dream

When we make love its cut and dry
And it's done before the baby cries
You used to make me feel obscene
Now its just necessity

There's not enough gin and the shops aren't open
I'm too drunk to drive and im too old to keep smoking
We said come 30 we would quit
Was it the cigarettes or a premonition
I don't know anymore

Seven days in a suburban dream
Seven days just wishing I was seen
My feet are cold and I'm feeling mean
Seven days in a suburban dream

Now I don't need you to make me fine
I just need three minutes of your time
And someone's always crying
And your mum thinks it's such a shame
That I ever took your name
But is she to blame?

Seven days in a suburban dream
Seven days just wishing I was seen
I wanna run
I wanna scream
Seven days in a suburban dream
Seven days in a suburban dream
