SHIFTWORK

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She's ten to five

But I'm shiftwork

And my woman alive

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

I thought shiftwork would work

But it's good as broken us apart

Lights flash over me

Twenty-four hour bulb

I'm just home for tea

But she's in work mode

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

And they will shake you by the hands

For shiftwork

But being abandoned by your woman

Is the price for shiftwork

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

Shiftwork, you let me down

Gave me a hard heart

You just cracked my mind

You split us apart

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

Raise your wages per year one grand

By shiftwork

But I can see me go, go, going from this land

Because of shiftwork

Shiftwork

I don't give her a chance

She gets the the morning rant

Gets in at eleven

Doing overtime

I'm going out at the time

Just to hang out with a woman who was my...

Shiftwork

She was ten to five

But I'm shiftwork

And that woman that once was mine

It's just shiftwork

Shiftwork

Shiftwork

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Shiftwork

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Shiftwork

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Shiftwork

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Shiftwork

Now, now, now, now

Where are you going?

This work has not yet reached

Cessation.
