Receiving department

3 AM

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
