Night Shift

At the crack of dawn, He hears the alarm
Time to start his trip through hell
He hits the rush, his thoughts all mush
Can’t get a break from time to time

Oh the sound pierced his ears like a flash bang.

You’re done for now, take your stuff and leave
Words never hit so hard in his life
The docks still there, he thought with despair
He’s got the night shift at the shipyard

Oh when life has you down just listen to her say

Baby just keep on working, keep on holding on
 I am here for you, so please don’t give in now
Keep your chin up something good will happen soon
So just keep on working, keep on holding on

The night is young, his work has begun
Driving the forklift from dusk til dawn
It’s his time to clock-out, and head on home 
He just can’t wait to see his wife again

Through the alley under the moon, its his final night

Baby just keep on working, keep on holding on
 I am here for you, so please don’t give in now
Keep your chin up something good will happen soon
So just keep on working, keep on holding on

When he turns the corner he runs into a trouble
Hey Mr. go back to your side of town
You little punks I’ll walk where I please
The gun raises up and his mind starts to freeze


And they shot him dead………….

Night Shift

Opportunity

Oh I don’t know just what to say
When another chance decides to come and walk my way
Who knows if I… Will make a move
As you can see my mind has me
I’m trapped inside, with my tongue tied and hopelessly scared to speak
What do you think about me? 

Oh baby it’s a treat when I catch your glance from afar and our eyes do meet
Maybe today is the day when I learn to not care what you think
Who knows if I, will be seal the deal and be done
I guess it’s just another opportunity gone

I can’t tell, what the reason is
Every time I meet someone I just freeze up and self-destruct
One day soon, I’ll ask her
Make my feelings clear to not steer this ride in the wrong direction
But I’ll drop the ball… again

Oh baby it’s a treat when I catch your glance from afar and our eyes do meet
Maybe today is the day when I learn to not care what you think
Who knows if I, will be seal the deal and be done
I guess it’s just another opportunity gone


And I feel it slipping away
What can I say to make you stay
How come I have to be this way
I wish I'd do more…

Oh baby it’s a treat when I catch your glance from afar and our eyes do meet
Maybe today is the day when I learn to not care what you think
Who knows if I, will be seal the deal and be done
I guess it’s just another opportunity gone
