Night shift Lyrics by ​the garages

eye of the storm

2022

[VERSE]
They tap you on the shoulder
Say “it’s my turn now
No need to be a hero
No need to be holier-than-thou”

“You’ve got time to rest, kid
Siesta until dawn
Sleep in the shadows
Take a train and get gone”

[Chorus]
But they might consider you a flight risk
They know you’re trying to make it out of town
But in the darkness of the night shift
Someone’s gonna track you down

[VERSE]
You pray for rain
But the gods give you blood
And the only drink you get
Is from the never-ending floods

And I hope you feel safe now
Blow off some steam
But if you manage to get some rest
I hope you don’t manage to dream

Even if your nightmares
Are better than waking life
The dreams of getting away are worse
Those are the ones that twist in the knife

[Chorus]
Be careful when you flip the light switch
You’re in the dirtiest business in town
And in the darkness of the night shift
Something is gonna drag you down

[VERSE]
If you pray for rain
You gotta escape the flood
And if it sweeps you somewhere else
They're gonna be out for blood

Then you tap ‘em on the shoulder
Say "it's my turn now
Go dance in the moonlight
We'll find a way out of this somehow"

[Chorus]
"look for any details that we might miss
Retrace every road that leads out of town
But in the darkness of the night shift
Something’s gonna bring us down”
