On the nightshift
Through a child's eyes

Oh on the Nightshift

Older and wiser
Hanging on to the eternal rewards
The family to distant just carried on
And I'm moving towards
Towards the nightshift
Yeah the nightshift

Well I know it's sick and maybe it's true
Sweetest smile has someplace to

The nightshift
The nightshift
The nightshift
The nightshift
The nightshift
The nightshift
The nightshift
The night
