Domestic Dispute - Night Birds

He comes home around a quarter to two

The walls are so thin I can smell the booze

He wakes her up, she starts chewing him out

It doesn’t matter what they’re screaming about

Oh no, they’re at it again

They’re gonna have it out until 4 am

It’s getting worse and I don’t know what to do

I could call the cops but it’s just no use

They’re still gonna beat each other black and blue

It’s a domestic dispute

I lie frozen — fixed with fear

I wish I was anywhere but here

I’m not prying or being a creep

I’m just trying to get some sleep

Oh no, they’re at it again

They’re gonna have it out until 4 am

It’s getting worse and I don’t know what to do

I could call the cops but it’s just no use

They’re still gonna beat each other black and blue

It’s a domestic dispute

She gets angry and he yells back

No reply then I hear a smack

Oh no, they’re at it again

They’re gonna have it out until 4 am

They call it off at least once a week

The violence is gonna hit its peak

It’s getting worse and I don’t know what to do

I could call the cops but it’s just no use

They’re still gonna beat each other black and blue

It’s a domestic dispute
