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
|
|
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 nine
|
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
|
My bed is pulling me,
|
Gravity
|
Daysleeper. Daysleeper.
|
Daysleeper. Daysleeper. Daysleeper.
