Daysleeper Lyrics

    receiving dept., 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.

    I cried the other night
    I can't even say why
    fluorescent flat caffeine lights
    its 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.
