lyrics

(instrumental, moody)

We met at three a.m. in a corridor the colour of nothing
You were restocking gloves, I was pretending to file
Neither of us had spoken to a conscious person in six hours
(six hours, six hours)
So we talked like people who had forgotten the rules

Daylight people don't understand (don't understand)
What gets said between two and five

Night shift romance
(night shift)
Nobody's watching and nothing counts
Night shift romance
Which is exactly why it's true

You know my order, I know which vending machine steals money
That's more intimacy than most people manage in a year
We have never once seen each other in the sun
(in the sun)
I think we're both a little frightened of what that would prove

There's a version of us that gets breakfast.
Neither of us has suggested it.
Eleven months now.
(GATED DRUMS RETURN)

Night shift romance
(night shift)
Nobody's watching and nothing counts
Night shift romance
Which is exactly why it's true

(night shift...)
