It's a beautiful night for paving
And the men they're out in force
Laying down thick asphalt sludge
Letting the deep black just take its course
The moon it shines upon the road
Reflects back it does not
For the highway runs
As black as sin
Workers eyes bloodshot
It's a beautiful night for paving
Humid air rests on their shoulders
Heavy like thick asphalt sludge
Or unending sisyphean boulders
People have to get to work tomorrow
Day in and day out
These people come
To fix the road
Night in and throughout
When the nighttime comes around
Out come these fine fellows
Bulldozer lives
Jackhammer cries
Adorned in orange yellow
