Scissor Sisters - Night Work lyrics

When I was a young boy I pretended I had a job My daddy said 'Pretty woman, Mama married into the mob' I dreamed one day I'd be livin' off the system for free But dreams come true, honey; welcome to my reality And I sleep all day and wake myself in the shadows (Time to get up, gotta get up) 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 9 to 5 shift is over I didn't have a penny No, I couldn't cut a check with a blade I used to have the shakes But now they're good at getting me played I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight (never enough, it's never enough) 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 9 to 5 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 9 to 5 shift is over And when the whistle blows And your body can't take it no more You gotta keep on movin', remember This is what you asked for Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-night work Na-na-na-na-na-na-night work Night work Gotta do the night work Night work gotta do the night work Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
