paroles de chanson Daysleeper (Live At The Palace / 1999) - R.E.M.

Receiving department, 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 gray day sleeper
Daysleeper
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 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'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 gray
Don't wake me so much
The ocean machine is set to nine
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
My bed is pulling me, gravity day sleeper

Daysleeper
Daysleeper
Daysleeper
Daysleeper

Thank you

I never figured out the words to that song
Ellen, welcome, glad you could be here
I've been asking about you all day, where the fuck is she? Mm
That was nicer than I would have been about it
It's my destiny, thank you
Yeah, I don't tend to feel bad, particularly

We're just gonna do this one 'cause we really like this song
Oh, you know, uhm, I think the last time I was here
It was either for Luscious Jackson or, uh, uh
Smashing Pumpkins did an amazing show here (yeah)
I was right back there, uh, thinking that the balcony was going to collapse
'Cause people were going up and down
Billy had shaved his head, he looked really good (yeah)
Like a taller version (thank you) of me

Oh, yeah, but last time that we played it, was it 1983? (We talked about this)
It was 1983, was anyone here? Was anyone-
Were you here, really?
Okay, who were we playing with?
Do you remember? No, no, no
No, I mean in this, in this venue

No, Human League
On a revolving stage
So, we're set up, we're ready to do, sitting still, or Lord knows what
The stage goes, dun-er-er, and we're like try not to
Instead, and we did our show, and that was that
And here we are again, and this is Country Feedback
