Night Shift

Compositor: Elliot Cox

We're on the night shift
I'm waiting up for you again
Counting down the minutes
Till the front door swings open
Step through it
Kiss me on the cheek on your way in
I sit on the couch
With the slightest grin
Give me a play-by-play since this morning

I'm on the night shift
I've been here for five years
And time slipped
Through my fingers again
I step through it
Kiss you on your cheek on my way in
You're already in bed all tucked in
Give you a play-by-play in the morning

On the night shift
Working the night shift
On the night shift
Working the night shift

But we gotta keep the lights on
And our backs break
Paying the price
The fire in my belly
Keeps my heart warm
So I can trudge on through the night

The night shift
Working the night shift
On the night shift
Working the night shift

We're working hard, we're working late
We're working the night shift
We're working hard, we're working late
We're working the nights

We're working hard, we're working late
We're working the night shift
We're working hard, we're working late
We're working the nights
