NIGHT SHIFT (Alt 1)

Intro

Verse 1 Clock says eleven fifty-seven Parking lot is black and cold Coffee tastes like burnt transmission Same as every night I've known Steel toes crossing yellow lines Blue sparks falling like hard rain Day crew left their jokes behind them We came in and took their place

Hook Night shift Sun don't know my name Punch in under darkness Punch out looking the same Night shift While the whole town dreams Somebody keeps the wheels turning Somebody feeds the machines

Verse 2 Ray's got three kids and a mortgage Luis sends half his paycheck home Jenny welds another seam shut Like she's stitching broken bones Nobody here made the papers Nobody gets called a king But when morning flips the switches They'll use everything we made Three fifteen Vending light Hands black Eyes bright One more hour One more run Then somebody else gets the sun Night shift Sun don't know my name We wear midnight on our shoulders And sparks inside our veins Night shift Let the daylight take the praise We kept this whole damn town alive While everybody slept away
