daysleeper

Receiving department, 3 a.m.

Staff cuts have socked up the overage

Directives are posted.

No callbacks, complaints.

Everywhere is calm.

Hong Kong is presentTaipei 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,

GravityDaysleeper.

Daysleeper.

Daysleeper.

Daysleeper.
