REM - "Daysleeper"

receiving dept., 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

I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache grey
daysleeper

the bull and the bear are marking
their territories
they're leading the blind with
their international glories

I'm 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 grey
don't wake me with so much.
daysleeper.

I cried the other night
I can't even say why
fluorescent flat caffeine lights
its furious balancing

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night
I see today...
don't wake me with so much. the
ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
my bed is pulling me.

Veruca Salt - "Number One Blind"

Be my blind.
Be it all the time.
Be it night or day.
Take my sun away.
Away... Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Blind me, please.
I am on my hands and knees.
I can only pray.
Take my sun away.
Away... Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
It is time.
It is time, Oh, oh.
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Levolor. [x4]



Deftones - "My Own Summer"

Hey you, big star
Tell me, when it's over

Hey you, big mood
Guide me, to shelter
'cause i'm through
When the two
Hits the six
And it's summer (cloud)

Come - shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove - shove it, shove it, shove it
The sun - shove it, shove it, shove it
Aside - shove it aside

I think god is moving its tongue
There's no crowds in the streets, and no sun

(in my own summer)

The shade, is a tool
A device, a saviour
See i try, and look up
To the sky, but my eyes burn (cloud)

Come - shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove - shove it, shove it, shove it
The sun - shove it, shove it, shove it
Aside - shove it aside

Come - shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove - shove it, shove it, shove it
The sun - shove it, shove it, shove it
Aside - shove it aside

I think god is moving its tongue
There's no crowds in the streets, and no sun

In my, own, summer

Come - shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove - shove it, shove it, shove it
The sun - shove it, shove it, shove it
Aside - shove it aside
