R.E.M. — Daysleeper

[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
