Verse

Receiving department, 3 AM

Staff cuts have socked up the overage

Directives are posted No call backs, complaints

Everywhere is calm

VERSE TO CHORUS:

Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up

Talk of circadian rhythm

Chorus

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

2x

Bridge

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
