daysleeper

• 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
  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
  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
