Daysleeper
R.E.M.
[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
