Daylight - Joey Cape

Hey, wake up

You really ought to sleep

Bow to daylight

The character of fiend

But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone

Ears to the ground, lines are down

Forty winks till' you’re gone

Hey, say uncle

They’ll wipe you with the floor all day long

Non-believers believe in something more

But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone

Painful pretense, indifference

Pretending you’re numb

But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone

Lucid, deranged, elusive stage

Children basking in the midnight sun

Counting backwards to a zero sum
