Lyrics
I Work the graveyard shift from dusk till dawn bust my back tryin to get along
Can?t feel the sun don?t see the light just sleep all day and work all night The boss is mean he wants me dead tell he?s evil by the shape of his head
Got to break loose it is the end goin? crazy up around the bend
Well the air is thick with dust and smoke grits my teeth and makes me choke
Machines so loud that I just can?t think mouth is dry lord I need a drink
Heat so high I?m drippin? sweat ask myself if I ain?t dead yet
Got to break loose it is the end goin? crazy up around the bend
Broke the seal greased the steel rode like thunder on red hot wheels
Down in Spain I feel no pain where the wine is cheaper than the water
I Work the graveyard shift from dusk till dawn bust my back tryin? to get along
Can?t feel the sun don?t see the light just sleep all day and work all night
Somehow soon will come a day make my bread a better way
Got to break loose it is the end goin crazy up around the bend
