[Verse 1]

Receiving department, 3 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

[Chorus]

I see today with a newsprint fray

My night is colored headache gray

Daysleeper

Daysleeper

Daysleeper

[Verse 2]

The bull and the bear are marking their territories

They're leading the blind with their international glories

I am the screen, the blinding light

I'm the screen, I work at night

[Chorus]

I see today with a newsprint fray

My night is colored headache gray

Don't wake me with so much

Daysleeper

[Bridge]

I cried the other night

I can't even say why

Fluorescent, flat, caffeine lights

It's furious balancing

I am the screen, the blinding light

I'm the screen, I work at night

[Chorus]

I see today with a newsprint fray

My night is colored headache gray

Don't wake me with so much (Wee-oo-wee-oo)

The ocean machine is set to nine

I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine

My bed is pulling me, gravity

Daysleeper

Daysleeper (Wee-oo-wee-oo)

Daysleeper

Daysleeper (Wee-oo-wee-oo)

Daysleeper
