UP ALL NIGHT

(from the album SOUND MINDS SPEAK VOLUMES 2004)

(Hello hello.. Can I be of service to you?)

Yeah that’s what you said
While you talking in your sleep
In this broad day light
When it’s my turn to be awake
And it’s your turn to slip away
You wake up when I’m just
About to get tired
And you rush to work
You can’t afford to get fired
‘Til your little contract expires

Tell me are you happy
With this kind of life

You’re up all night
While I lay down here
I’m dreaming that
I’m holding you tight
Under a million stars so bright

(hello hello can I help you sir, can I be of service to you…
Can I help you sir?)

I feel as though I’m dead
In this empty bed without your head
Well, all I want is for me to
kiss you goodnight
And everything will be alright

Do you think of me when you converse
With those irate customers
And do they know that it’s their fault
Why your body clock’s been totally reversed

Are you happy how my day is your night
Are you happy with your so-called graveyard life

You’re up all night
While I lay down here
I’m dreaming that
I’m holding you tight
Under a million stars so bright
You’re up all night
While I lay down here
Still waiting for the city lights die out
So I can finally have my time…

I can’t wait 12 hours
To have breakfast with you 2x
But you doze off in our conversations
You dozed off our entire relationship

You’re up all night
While I lay down here
I’m dreaming that
I’m holding you tight
Under a million stars so bright
You’re up all night
While I lay down here
Still waiting for the city lights die out
So I can finally have my time
With you

(hello hello hello
The sun is up
It’s time for me to wake up
It’s time for you to say goodnight
