Double Shift Lyrics by Tsunami

A Brilliant Mistake

1997

I'd like to get away for just a few days
From this double shift of living I'm on
Can you blame me for feeling unsteady?
Like a juggler tossing one too many knives

Is that all we get for cutting against the grain?
Is that all it's got to be?
All I want is time

I see you waiting, your eyes burning holes
When you're hungry and unhappy, where do your manners go?
Can you blame me for feeling unsteady?
It's daybreak, do you want butter with your pancakes?
Thanks for the living wage

Is that all we get for cutting against the grain?
Is that all it's got to be?
All I want is time

It's not a job that pays or an easy day
Keeping the machine parts aligned
We can't submit, wе haven't quit
Floating somewherе between demigod and nothing
It's hard to pay the rent

Is that all we get for cutting against the grain?
Is that all it's got to be?
All I want is time
