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.

I work on the front line

I work to survive

I sleep in a fever

So this is my life

I cry in my sleep - (Cry boy, Cry boy)

Just makes me weep when i try, how i cry

Know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

Working for reason - (Day in, Day out)

Trying to hard - (He's trying too hard)

Moving in circles - (Too hot, Too hot)

Don't get very far - (Don't get very far)

Should i ask you to dance - (Dance Boy, Dance Boy)

If i promise romance would you come for the ride

I know what it means to work hard on machines

Will you believe in love, one that lasts for all time

(Chorus)

You take me up - Oh Hoh

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up, so high

Now i never want to come back down

I'm gliding these hard time - (Day in, Day out)

There's hope in your eyes - (Hope in his eyes)

I don't need a religon - (Too hot, Too hot)

Cos' this love never dies - (Love never dies)

I believe in today - (Believe boy, Believe boy)

It's better that way and you work through the night

I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

(Chorus)

I cry in my sleep - (Cry boy, Cry boy)

Just makes me weep when i try, how i cry

I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

(Chorus x 2)
