[Intro] (Flowing, complex piano) (Morning birds chirping lightly) [Verse 1: Male Vocals] The sun is coming up I can see the dust motes dancing in the light And I have approximately three inches of mattress To call my own tonight I am exhausted My neck feels like it was folded by a magician Into a balloon animal shape There is no escape. [Verse 2: Female Vocals] But look at them The drool. The sprawled limbs. The absolute confidence that they belong here It’s annoying It’s incredibly annoying But the ten-year-old... He smells like sweat and cheap shampoo And in about five minutes, he’s going to wake up And remember he’s too cool to hug you. [Chorus: Duet] (Tempo swells - Rich Harmony) So I will take the knee in the spine I will take the foot in the face Because this is the last place they feel safe enough To be completely unconscious We lost the battle We lost the sleep But we have the coffee (Yes, we have the coffee) And the coffee is enough. [Outro] (Piano slows down - Rubato) [Spoken: Male]: Ow, he kicked me. [Spoken: Female]: Shh... just let it be. [Sung: Duet]: I guess it’s okay. (Final unresolved chord)
