Second Shift

The second shift starts soon
and new moons bear gifts soon
Laid bare, you're right there
The second shift stars soon
and new moons bear gifts soon
Laid bare, you're right there
With muddied straw damp under foot,
these circus smells bring tales of love
that may repeat tonight
Recess, bring out your best
A paper cut hurts more than a chainsaw
Confined space rewards the wait
with a long embrace in an empty diner
A long embrace, someone's empty diner
Stand clear, there's no second gear
and paper cuts hurt more than a chainsaw
Sharp turns, Chinese burns and a lonely cup
A lonely cup in an empty diner
Someone's empty diner
But when the door's wide open
we may just prosper
Yeah the door's wide open -
it could be central to these actions
and we may just prosper
Yeah the door's wide open,
we may just prosper
We may just, may just prosper
But the second shift starts soon
and new moons bear gifts soon
Laid bare, you're right there
With muddied straw damp under foot
these circus smells bring tales of love
that may repeat,
repeat tonight.
