Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything is bleak, it's the middle of the night
You're all alone and the dummies might be right
You feel like a jerk, my music at work
My music at work
[Verse 2]
Avoid trends and cliches, don't try to be up to date
And when the sunlight hits the olive oil
Don't hesitate, the night's so long it hurts
My music at work
[Verse 3]
In a symbol too far or the anatomy of a stain
To determine where you are in a sink full of gaugesĀ I'd remain
No matter what you heard, my music at work
My music at work, my music at work
[Verse 4]
I call it Olga waits, the crowd that entertains
The dim possibility of showing some restraint
The rain came down berserk, my music at work
My music at work
[Verse 5]
On a star beyond the chart or the dark side of a drop of rain
Determining where you are in a sink full of gauges I remain
No matter what you heard, my music at work
My music at work, my music at work
[Verse 6]
Everything is bleak, it's the middle of the night
You're all alone and the dummies might be right
Outside the darkness lurks, my music at work
My music at work
[Verse 7]
They call hummingbird, my music at work
The middle of the Earth, my music at work
Compliment without dessert, my music at work
My music at work, my music at work
