Day for night
   I can't wait 'til the time is right
   Like a gun waits for war
   Like the sun waiting for a light
  
   Pound away
   Get it done in just half a day
   'Neath the sweltering sky
   Get it done, don't ask why
  
   Don't you want to live my way?
   Living day for night
   Don't you want to live my way?
   Why you want to keep trying?
   You never get it right
   When you could be
   Living day for night
  
   Live my dream
   There's no dancing in between
   Why not let it go?
   There's no sense being so extreme
   Act instead
   There's no life living in your head
   The director's long gone
   Still the play goes on
   And on and on . . . come on!
  
   CHORUS
  
   Your dreams were disappearing
   So you disappeared
   Into your head
   There's no freshness
   In your feelings
   So you feel like
   Going back to bed
   As the mercury rises
   There are still some surprises
  
   Day for night
   There's no time
   There's no end in sight
   Not a moment to lose
   There's no voice
   You can't choose
  
   CHORUS TO END
