Second Shift Lyrics

I should be down at the shop
working up money I know
second shift for a seventh night
'cause we ain't got nothing now
I can't see the light
these curtains closed up so tight
transmit your light
do you remember when you wrote your name in concrete
a death in the family couldn't have come more eerily
well I could be the light and you the torch

we need answers everyday
but we ain't found nothing here
whittle the darkness of this day until it burns away
