matrimonal enemy (Lyric) by hendrimike

you just keep on pushing me backwards and forwards thru time and i can't keep on livin' with anger for what is not mine turning me around again and again to come home and i can't keep from crying and slamming down the phone i just keep on pushing you backwards and forwards thru time and you couldn't keep livin' with anger for what's not yours turning me around again and again to come home and you hold the reciever and break down again on the phone put a nickel in the machine my girl spin the wheel to see what you win it's a lifetime with me your matrimonal enemy the burning smell of smoke in the bar the kids are gone sleeping off the day and i came here to drink it away she calls the bar for me to say can't you come home? won't you come home? put a nickel in the machine my girl spin the wheel to see what you win it's a lifetime with me your matrimonal enemy and in the night, when it finally ends stumble home to the mess that i'm in you're waiting there with the kids in your hands you are leaving me in our beat up minivan off into darkness you drove away and i sat in the kitchen and waited for day you never came home or called again this was our life and this is how it ends put a nickel in the machine my girl spin the wheel to see what you win it's a lifetime with me your matrimonal enemy

Oh. I mean, I just thought it was one of those things that people say in songs because people say them in songs, like calling a guitar a "six string" or standing in the rain with a knife in your heart and the wounds never heal and so on. That is, you could just say it's a quarter instead of a nickel. A dollar, even. Unless you want people to think you live in the 30s.
