[00:05.63]A voice you used to love that you've grown to hate
[00:27.67]Breaks dawn's silence with its cheery strain
[00:34.66]The rising steam carries heavy dreams away
[00:41.41]As sweat and tears flow softly down the drain
[00:46.41]They'll be back tonight in the same place
[00:54.23]Amongst a maze of cubicles you see
[01:03.57]The ebb and flow of worker bees
[01:07.93]With name and rank written on their sleeves
[01:15.16]The bulletins and answering machines
[01:20.31]Just spew out syllables endlessly
[01:28.04]Phantom collar soaked in rain
[02:27.96]Strident tweeter whistling more of the same
[02:34.07]A crescent lamp above an empty lane
[02:47.01]Put the heartless clock and chopping block away
[02:52.21]They don't let you breathe the same or so they say
[02:58.31]Off with corks and caps and tabs and tops
[03:09.16]Bottoms up drink till you drop
[03:15.45]The neon glows as the busboy mops
[03:20.61]Up the ghostly remnants of earlier today
[03:25.81]But the marks you left are here here to stay
