DOING DISHES

Cannot sleep, keep tossing and turning
My lips get dry,my tummy wants to be fed
I stay quiet and crawl on the floor all in an attempt
To not make a noise as I obsess

That's why I'm in here doing dishes
While you lie there in our warm and cozy bed
If I'm standing here doing dishes
I cannot be doing something else instead

Wanna reach in that fridge for a fixing
Maybe light the barbeque for a leg
The booze is calling out my name but I shake it in an attempt
To fight the urge to get ice for a drink

That's why I'm in here doing dishes
While you lie there in our warm and cozy bed
If I'm standing here doing dishes
I cannot be doing something else instead
Something else instead

The pizza flyers are on the dining room table
It's late but they are open until three
My hands are wet and full of soap as I scrub another plate
Imagining a slice is on there for me

That's why I'm in here doing dishes
While you lie there in our warm and cozy bed
If I'm standing here doing dishes
I cannot be doing something else instead
