Midnight Works for Me

Some folks rise up early, get to work on time
 Goin' through the motions, chasin' that almighty dime
 Me I ride the border between sweat and sympathy
 I am time's employer, midnight works for me
 Me I rise at sunset and start plannin' out my day
 I do my best thinkin' between the moon and the Milky Way
 Starlight sends the story, and I provide the melody
 Seven ways from Sunday midnight works for me
 I'm a poet tryin' to be a sage
 Hold this pen and watch it slide across the page
 Time may be money, all these words are free
 Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me
 It's already mornin', I should try to get some sleep
 Slow down my old weary heart, pray my soul to keep
 Another night is callin' and I know where I will be
 Back on that assembly line, midnight works for me
 I'm a poet tryin' to be a sage
 I hold this pen and watch it slide across the page
 Time may be money, all these words are free
 Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me
 Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me
