Graveyard Shift by The Metermaids Lyrics
… wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
… we wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
Peace to truckers and my people in the warehouse
Midnight junkies … to tear their hair out
All night shifters, the dino …
Subway conductors, sit back, same track, ok
Got bless the coffee, the … the nicotine
This one’s for the open calls windows and the winter green
Heavy eyes dropping no option to … with
Steady pumping midnight oil, burning through the graveyard shifts
Same shit, different night, just for the bodegas never shutting off the lights
For most of 3 am, the speakers scream
Peoples on the corner posted up 20 g
Midnight black crime … freeze the hands
Get the message … flickering for essence
Slanging single smoke six pack and the refill cup
This one’s for the drivers and the dancers stacking singles …
… wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
… we wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
I’m praying to the angel at the bar with bottles pouring drinks
Hard to keep literally sleep for 40 weeks
The nights are long and the days are fast
Paying .. to the bags under our eyes and shaky hands
And all the garbage trucks sound like thunder
City shutel busses packed down all summer
My day sleepers with sun in streetlights
And the stick up kid busting guns in street fights
Dark cars cruising suspicious until the day breaks
Sketchy platforms waiting for the day trains
Dark side walks, places you shouldn’t go
Keys between your fingers just hoping to make it home
And the world hold you down when you close your eyes
Fucking tv vampires, we own the nights
Insomniacs with their trace filled with …
Their minds screaming wake up
… wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
… we wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
… we wake up, on some 1’o clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock
Wake up, on some 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock
Wake up, on some 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock
Wake up, never sleep, don’t stop
Peace to truckers and my people in the warehouse
Midnight junkies … to tear their hair out
All night shifters, the dino …
