Diana:

They're the perfect

Loving family, so adoring...

And I love them

Every day of every week.

So my son's a little shit,

My husband's boring,

And my daughter,

Though a genius, is a freak.

Still I help them

Love each other

Father, mother,

Sister, brother,

Cheek to cheek!

[Spoken]

Natalie? It's four in the morning-is everything ok?

Natalie: [Spoken]

Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great!

Diana: [Spoken]

Honey, you need to slow down, take some time for yourself.

I'm going to have sex with your father.

Natalie: [Spoken]

Great. Thanks. I'm so glad I know that.

[Sung]

So it's times like these

I wonder how I take it-

And if other fam'lies

Live the way we do...

If they love each other

Or if they just fake it,

And if other daughter

Feel like I feel too...

'Cause some days

I think I'm dying-

But I'm really only

Trying to get through.

Gabe:

For just another day...

For another stolen hour,

When the world will

Feel my power and obey.

Gabe & Natalie:

It's just another day...

Gabe:

Feeling like I'll live forever...

Natalie:

Feeling like this feeling never goes away...

Gabe & Natalie:

For just another day.

Dan:

When it's up to you

To hold your house together...

A house you built with

Patience and with care...

But you're grappling with

That grey and rainy weather,

And you're living on a latte

And a prayer

Dan & Diana:

Can you keep

The cup from tipping?

Can you keep

The grip from slipping in despair?

For just another day.

Dan & Gabe:

In the hustle and the hurry.

Dan:

You want to wipe

Your worry clean away.

Diana, Dan & Gabe:

For just another day.

Diana:

I will keep the

Plates all spinning

Diana & Natalie:

With a smile so white

And winning all the way

All:

'Cause what doesn't kill me

Doesn't kill me,

So fill me up

For just another day.

Diana:

It only hurts when I breathe.

Dan:

It only hurts when I try.

Gabe:

It only hurts when I think.

Natalie:

It only hurts when I cry.

Dan:

It only hurts when I work.

Gabe:

It only hurts when I play.

Natalie:

It only hurts when I move.

All:

It only hurts when I say...

Dan, Natalie & Gabe:

It's just another day

[ Diana: A busy, busy day ]

And the morning sun

Is stunning, I will hold it all together.

And you wish that you

Were running far away. I will hide the mess away.

It's just another day- And I'll survive another day.

Birds are singing,

Things are growing, And I will pray

And you wish To hold on

You could be going Just this way,

But you stay.

And you stay

And stay forever, And for my fam'ly's sake

Though you know I'll take what I can take-

It's now or never,

And you know I'm only just awake...

That for forever...

Diana:

Every day is just another...

And another... and another...

I will hold it all together.

We're the perfect loving fam'ly.

If they say we're not, then fuck 'em-

The perfect loving fam'ly.

I will keep the plates all spinning,

And the world just keeps on spinning,

[Spoken]

And I think the house is spinning...
