Lyric Daysleeper

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

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...
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.
