Daysleeper


Receiving department, three a.m.
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.

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.

Daysleeper.
Daysleeper.
Daysleeper.
Daysleeper.
