"Night Shift" lyrics

"Night Shift"

I exist too much so I try to hide
I'm in the uniform with the sad ghost eyes
And all the roads feel empty on the valley side
It's the devil's hour in a soulless town
And we're all vampires

I've been working on the night shift, night shift
Feeling like a sidekick to myself
Feet up on the desk lonely as it gets
And I know no one will find me
Working on the night shift, night shift
Tick tock goes the clock on my wrist
Watching re-runs, 21 Jump street
And I wonder if these nights will ever end

I think my dream cashed out and it hung me dry
And my will broke down on the highway side
So I left that alter with my shotgun bride
To an old motel but it feels like hell in the dark sometimes

I've been working on the night shift, night shift
Feeling like a sidekick to myself
Feet up on the desk lonely as it gets
And I know no one will find me
I'm working on the night shift night shift
Tick tok goes the clock on my wrist
Watching re-runs, 21 Jump street
And I wonder if these nights will ever end

I think my dream cashed out and it hung me dry
I think my will broke down with the ghost eyes

I've been working on the night shift, night shift
Feeling like a sidekick to myself
Feet up on the desk lonely as it gets
And I know no one will find me
I'm working on the night shift night shift
Tick tok goes the clock on my wrist
Watching re-runs, 21 Jump street
And I wonder if these nights will ever end
