C
Receiving department, 3 A.M
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted, no callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm
D#                    Dm
Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up
F                   G
Talk of circadian rhythm

Chorus:
   C     Dm         Am      Em
I see today with a newsprint frame
 C           D     G
My night is colored headache-grey
      C   Dm Am  Em
Daysleeper,
      C   D G
daysleeper
      C
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

Chorus

C
I cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
It's furious balancing

D#                     Dm
I('m the) screen, the blinding light
F                 G
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
