Receving dept., 3 a.m.
staff cuts have socked the overage
directives are posted.
No callbakcs, complaints.
Everywhere is calm.

Pre-Chorus
Bb                    Am
Hong Kong is present Tapei awakes
    F                 G
all talk of circadian rhythm


Chorus
   C       Dm      Am       Em
I see today with a newsprint fray

Verse

The bull and the bear are marking
their territories.
They're living the blind with
their international glories.

Pre-Chorus
Bb                   Am              F
I'm the screen, the blinding light
                G
I'm the screen, I work at night.


Chorus
   C       Dm       Am        Em
I see today   with a  newsprint fray

my nigth is colored    headache grey
       C   Dm   Am      Em    C     Dm     G
don't wake   me  with so      much.            Daysleeper.



Interlude [C,Cw]  Cw=> x32000

I cried the other night, I can't even say why.
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights, it's furious balancing.


Pre-Chorus
Bb                   Am              F
I'm the screen, the blinding light
                G
I'm the screen, I work at night.


Chorus
   C       Dm       Am        Em
I see today   with a  newsprint fray

my nigth is colored    headache grey
       C   Dm   Am      Em    C     Dm     G
don't wake   me  with so      much.
    C       Dm       Am      Em
The ocean machine is set to 9
 C                Dm        G
I'll squeeze into heaven the valentine
   C       Dm         Am     Em     C     Dm    G       C
my bed is pulling me, gravity    daysleeper.        Daysleeper.
