Prelude Lyrics

[GABE, spoken]
What are you doing up?
It's 3:30

[DIANA]
It's the seventh night this week I've sat 'til morning

[GABE, spoken]
Oh, great, here we go

[DIANA]
Imagining the ways you might have died

[GABE, spoken]
Yeah, and tonight's winner is?

[DIANA]
In a freak September ice storm with no warning

[GABE, spoken]
'Cause that happens

[DIANA]
There's a gang war, there's a bird flu, trains collide

[GABE, spoken]
What did we say about watching the news?

[DIANA]
Now you act all sweet and surly
But you swore you'd come home early
And you lied

[GABE, spoken]
You gotta let go, Mom
I'm almost eighteen

[DIANA, spoken]
Are you snorting coke?

[GABE, spoken]
Not at the moment

[DAN, spoken]
Who's up at this hour?

[DIANA, spoken]
Your father
Go, up the back way

[GABE, spoken]
Why does he hate me?

[DIANA, spoken]
'Cause you're a little twat

[GABE, spoken]
You can't call me a twat

[DAN, spoken]
Is everything okay? I heard voices

[DIANA, spoken]
Just me, talking to myself, y'know?
Now you head on upstairs, I'll be up for sex in a minute

[DAN, spoken]
You'll–
Are you sure everything's okay?

[DIANA, spoken]
Mhm, go
