Daysleeper

Receiving department, 3 AM 
Staff cuts have socked up the overage 
Directives are posted No call backs, complaints 
Everywhere is calm 

Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up 
Talk of circadian rhythm 

I see today with a newsprint frame 
My night is colored headache-grey 
Daysleeper, daysleeper 
daysleeper 

The bull and the bear are marking their territories 
They're leading the blind with their international glories 

I'm the screen, the blinding light 
I'm the screen, I work at night 

I see today with a newsprint frame 
My night is colored headache-grey 
Don't wake me 
You're so much 
Daysleeper 

I cried the other night 
I can't even say why 
flourescent, flat, caffeine lights 
It's furious balancing 


I'm the screen, the blinding light 
I'm the screen, I work at night 

I see today with a newsprint frame 
My night is colored headache grey 
Don't wake me you're so much (Wee ooo Wee ooo) 
The ocean machine is set to night 
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine 
My bed is pulling me, gravity, daysleeper 
Daysleeper, daysleeper, (Wee ooo Wee ooo) 
daysleeper, daysleeper. (Wee ooo Wee ooo)
