I work after midnight
At the steel cutting blade
I count the finger's I've lost
With the money I've made
I keep to my business
I never ask for a change in machine
But there'll be a drastic change
Someone's gonna sing again
There'll be a drastic change
I return after daybreak
Where the sun has to feel so fake
Lights up the lonely rocks
Back in 1968
My face hits the pillow
I can't get this hum from my ears
I haven't explained to any one these years
I work after midnight
On the tools that we've made
To crush a piano we've saved
Into more cutting blades
I keep to my business
I never ask for a change in machine
There'll be a drastic change
Someone's gonna sing again
There'll be a drastic change
Someone's gonna sing again
There'll be a drastic change
