{Verse Chords}
The bull and the bear are marking their territories
They're leading the blind with their international glories
{Verse to Chorus Chords}
I('m the) screen, the blinding light
I('m the) screen, I work at night

My night is colored headache-grey
Don't wake me

{Verse To Chorus Chords}
I('m the) screen, the blinding light
I('m the) screen, I work at night
{Chorus Chords}
I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me (you're) so much
The ocean machine is set to night
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine
My bed is pulling me, gravity, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
End on C
