Night Work Lyrics - Night Work - Scissor Sisters

When I was a young boy I'd pretend that I had a job 

My daddy stayed pretty while my momma married into the mob 

I dreamed one day I'd be living off the system for free 

But dream's come true, honey, welcome to my reality 

And I sleep all day and awake myself in the shadows 

(It's time to get up, gotta get up) 

I 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 nine to five shift is over 

Didn't ever pay to know I couldn't, couldn't check with the blade 

I used to have the shakes but now they couldn't get in the blade 

I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight 

(It's never enough, it's never enough) 

I 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 nine to five 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 nine to five shift is over 

And when the whistle blows and your body can't take it no more 

You gotta keep on moving, remember, this is what you asked for 

N-n-n-n-n-na 

Ooh hoo 

The night work 

N-n-n-n-na, do the night work 

Oh oh night work 

Gotta do the night work 

Nine to five sift is over
