Gray on the wall where a clock holds a beat Work never done even when its complete The daylight is theirs, but the night is my own Second-hand burning like a blade to the bone Sun going down punching out on the card Night on the town Work was never so hard Workaday Night (NIGHT!) A mix of fire and cold Something's gonna give Gotta buy what you're sold Sun at my back without the stars in my eyes Dark is the dawn before I don the disguise Workaday Night (NIGHT!) Workin' it! Out where streetlight's run to the red Walking the shame like a gun to the head Doing the worst, but I'm doing my best Wasn't the first to give the night a request The morning can tell me all the places I've been Put the chalk on the lines Before I sign for the sin What's done in the dark Will never give up the night A fire tosses a spark A shadow darkens a light Learn to follow the heart Until the way ahead clears Don't let it pull you apart Its never as it appears Workaday Night (NIGHT!) A mix of fire and cold Something's gonna give Gotta buy what you're sold Sun at my back without the stars in my eyes Dark is the dawn before I don the disguise Workaday Night (NIGHT!) I'm workin' the night.
