Nightshift

June, June, days of heat,
work, work, sleep and eat.

time, time, like a stream,
flow, flow, just a dream.

hot, hot, nights of sweat,
walk, walk, no end yet.

hours, hours, drag by slow
move, move, on the go.

phone, phone, calls my name,
somethings wrong, who's to blame.

beer, beer, every day,
hot at work, cold at play.
