Graveyard Shift

Hometown, same town blues
 Same old walls closing in
 Oh what a life a mess can be
 I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give
 A few thoughts to me
 Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
 Get up and start what needs to be done
 It's winding down, there's much you missed
 Working on that graveyard shift
 Well, I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
 If what I see is true I could learn to believe
 Can't look away
 The powers that be might take it all away
 Together we burn, together we burn away
 Some say a land of paradise
 Some say a land of pain
 Well, which side are you looking from
 Some people have it all
 Some all to gain
 Well a man in a tie gonna break his twenty dollar bill
 There's plenty of reasons in this world
 To sit around or stand there still
 But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
 If what I see is true I could learn to believe
 Can't look away
 The powers that be might take it all away
 Together we burn, together we burn away
 There's too much time spent looking for a reason
 It's the simple ones that beat the most truth
 Oh, what a life a mess can be
 I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give
 A few thoughts to me
 Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
 Get up and start what needs to be done
 It's running down, there's much you missed
 Working on that graveyard shift
 But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
 If what I see is true I could learn to believe
 Can't look away
 The powers that be might take it all away
 Together we burn, together we burn away
