I've been working the graveyard shiftNo one ever told me it would be like thisSundown til the morning riseStarting my day with a moonlight kissAnd I was born on a precipiceBetween salvation and the great abyssI don't think I can go on like thisPutting in time on the graveyard shiftI go to work at sundownPick-axe digging into common groundNight falls but it makes no soundDuty's calling from the undergroundNow here it comes it comesThe setting SunTime to dig down and see what side you're onUntil the dawn the dawn you're soldiering onEvery sundown you gotta be rebornCome away, come away, come awayCome sit by me and see what I seeWhen I close my eyes at the edge of sleepAnd we dream on the blade of a knifeFollowing the trail of the afterlifeSongtexteNow here they comeThe night commutersThe midnight hoardThe dawn refutersThey're all here to settle a scoreWith the phantom limbs and the ghosts of warHere it come it comesThe setting sunTime to dig down and see what side you're onUntil the dawn the dawn soldiering onEvery sundown you gotta be rebornCome away, come away, come awayI've been working the graveyard shiftTraded night for dayNow it's all I can do to stay awakeEyes heavy as the moonlight driftsTime to dig, time to digAnd bury my mistakesBury my mistakesI've been working the graveyard shiftNo one ever told me it would be like thisSundown til the morning riseStarting my day with a moonlight kissAnd I was born on a precipiceBetween salvation and the great abyssI don't think I can go on like thisPutting in time on the graveyard shiftNow here it comes it comesThe setting SunTime to dig down and see what side you're onUntil the dawn the dawn you're soldiering onEvery sundown you gotta be rebornCome away, come away, come away Aus Songtexte Mania
