Daysleeper Lyrics By R E M

    receiving department 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

    i see today with a newsprint fray
    my night is colored headache gray
    daysleeper
    daysleeper
    daysleeper

    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

    i see today with a newsprint fray
    my night is colored headache gray
    don’t wake me with so much
    daysleeper

    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

    i see today with a newsprint fray
    my night is colored headache gray
    don’t wake me with so much
    the ocean machine is set to nine
    i’ll squeeze into heaven and valentine
    my bed is pulling me gravity
    daysleeper
    daysleeper
    daysleeper
    daysleeper
    daysleeper
