Receiving department, 3 am 
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 coloured 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 
Im the screen, I work at night. 

Chorus 
I see today with a newsprint fray 
my night is coloured headache grey 
don't wake me with so much 
daysleeper 

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

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

Chorus 
I see today with a newsprint fray 
my night is coloured headache grey 
don't wake me with so much 

The ocean machine is set to 9 I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine 
my bed is pulling me, 
gravity 
daysleeper. daysleeper. 
daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper.
