Receiving department, 3 AM
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted No call backs, complaints
Everywhere is calm

Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up
Talk of circadian rhythm

I see today with a newsprint frame
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 frame
My night is colored headache-grey
Don't wake me
You're so much
Daysleeper

I cried the other night
I can't even say why
flourescent, flat, caffeine lights
It's furious balancing

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me you're so much

The ocean machine is set to night
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine
My bed is pulling me, gravity, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper,
Daysleeper, daysleeper.
R.E.M. -- Daysleeper

Meh, I'll write what I want about this when I feel like it.
