Graveyard Shift Lyrics by David James Murphy

2022

[Verse 1]
Candles burning from both edges, babe
I was never one to misbehave
Don't wanna be a golden boy
Don't wanna be a crook
Write my name in blood on the history books

[Chorus]
If you start to look from the outside in
Then you start to see what's been happening
May your lungs be strong
May your feet be swift
May your help arrive
For the graveyard shift

[Verse 2]
Sweet angels in the sky above
We were never born out of a labour of love
You know I'm drowning in
My restlessness, that's when the angels come to manifest

[Chorus]
And if you start to look from thе outside in
Then you start to see what's been happening
May your lungs bе strong
May your feet be swift
May your help arrive
For the graveyard shift

[Bridge]
How many years in this prison cell?
We're so far from home
And so close to hell

[Chorus]
If you start to look from the outside in
Then you start to see what's been happening
May your lungs be strong
May your feet be swift
May your help arrive
For the graveyard shift
