Night Work

When I was a young boy I'd pretend that I had a job My daddy stayed pretty while my momma married into the mob I dreamed one day I'd be living off the system for free But dream's come true, honey, welcome to my reality And I sleep all day and awake myself in the shadows (It's time to get up, gotta get up) I gotta catch that train by midnight for the Night work, gotta do the night work Punch that clock and break all the numbers Night work, gotta do the night work Weekday nine to five shift is over Didn't ever pay to know I couldn't, couldn't check with the blade I used to have the shakes but now they couldn't get in the blade I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight (It's never enough, it's never enough) I gotta cash that check by midnight for the Night work, gotta do the night work Punch that clock and break all the numbers Night work, gotta do the night work Weekday nine to five shift is over Night work, gotta do the night work Punch that clock and break all the numbers Night work, gotta do the night work Weekday nine to five shift is over And when the whistle blows and your body can't take it no more You gotta keep on moving, remember, this is what you asked for N-n-n-n-n-na Ooh hoo The night work N-n-n-n-na, do the night work Oh oh night work Gotta do the night work Nine to five sift is over --- Night Work - Scissor Sisters
