R.E.M. - Daysleeper Lyrics

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 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 Im the screen, I work at night.

Chorus

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

Don't wake me with so much. the ocean machine is set to 9 I'llsqueeze into heaven and valentine my bed is pulling me, gravity daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper.
