Workin' at Night (Demo)
You give your job your full devotion,
Then you finally get that wanted promotion,
You're thinking it's all right,
Until the boss walks up to you and informs you,
You'll be workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night...
Full time gives you two nights off a week,
It's the only thing that keeps you alive,
You say to your wife, we're going out tonight,
But then you find yourself asleep by five,
Cause you've been workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night...
...Why can't they see?
...What mid nighters are doing to me.
...I can see how the "graveyard shift" has got it's name.
...Can't they understand?
...What mid nighters can do to a man,
...Sleeping at night becomes a thing of the past.
After a month you wonder if the boss likes you,
Other promotions are working the days,
Your wife says you do nothing but sleep all the time,
And when she see's you, you seem in a daze,
Cause you've been workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night,
You've been workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night,
When they're workin' at night.
When you're workin' at night.
Then you finally get that wanted promotion,
You're thinking it's all right,
Until the boss walks up to you and informs you,
You'll be workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night...
Full time gives you two nights off a week,
It's the only thing that keeps you alive,
You say to your wife, we're going out tonight,
But then you find yourself asleep by five,
Cause you've been workin' at night,
Can get tight,
Most people can't take it,
And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night...
...Why can't they see?
...What mid nighters are doing to me.
...I can see how the "graveyard shift" has got it's name.

And other people don't make it,
When they're workin' at night,
When they're workin' at night.
When you're workin' at night.
