Alexa
(for Diego, 24 Feb 2016)
Alexa, tell me what time it is.
We've got work in the morning, can we sleep, pretty please?
Alexa, know what the climate is?
'Cause I'm getting the feeling that I'm getting the freeze.
Alexa, let's at least have a coffee,
Alexa, if we're going to fight.
Alexa, Alexa,
Turn off the light.
Alexa, turn it down a little.
I can't go back to sleep when you're acting this way.
Alexa, want to tell me a riddle?
You like hearing me guess at what you want me to say.
Alexa, you are overreacting,
Alexa, just admit that I’m right.
Alexa, Alexa,
Turn off the light.
Calling out your name, listening for the echo:
When we try to let go, every time's the same.
Isn't it a shame, broken from the get-go —
Nobody's to blame...
Alexa, stop what you're playing.
We can settle this later, we've got too much at stake.
Alexa, do you hear what I'm saying?
We can see how we're feeling by the time we're awake.
Alexa, we've pretended for months now,
Alexa, let's pretend one more night.
Alexa, Alexa,
Turn off the light.
