Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage.
Directives are posted, no callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm.
Hong Kong is present,
Taipei awakes.
All talk of circadian rhythm
I see today with a newsprint fray
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 fray.
My night is colored headache grey.
Don't wake me with so much
Daysleeper.
They cried the other night
I can't even say why.
Fluorescent, 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 fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much.
The Ocean machine is set to 9,
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine.
My bed is pulling me gravity.
Daysleeper, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper.
