Daysleeper
R.E.M.
Daysleeper (Original Version)
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 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
Chorus
Don't wake me, 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
Chorus
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
