At three a.m. it's usually when
The demons will appear
No need to shake you're soon awake
Their purpose very clear
You close your eyes but still they rise
Those worries never shared
Again you know that they won't go
You sink beneath despair
Could there be a way to lose
This nightly torment
Escape from the fear
So if maybe you change your daily life
And join the few that through the night
They do their shifts from ten 'til eight
They're never working 'til it's late
They probably never notice when
The clock ticks over three a.m.
Duties finished they stretch and yawn
Travelling home they watch the dawn
Three o'clock, three o'clock
Three o'clock, three o'clock
You're there behind the blackout blind
And nobody sees in
But in your bed and in your head
Those darkest thoughts begin
You changed your ways to sleep the days
But realised quite soon
It starts again at three p.m. and every afternoon
Could there be a way to lose
This nightly torment
Escape from the fear
So if maybe you change your daily life
And join the few that through the night
They do their shifts from ten 'til eight
They're never working 'til it's late
They probably never notice when
The clock ticks over three a.m.
Duties finished they stretch and yawn
Travelling home they watch the dawn
Now I know that no answer is very near
Now I'm sorry no answer is near
There is no way you can ever block
The curse that wakes you at three o'clock
When troubles face to face are met
A.m. or p.m. the time is set
Three o'clock, three o'clock
Three o'clock, three o'clock
Three o'clock, three o'clock
Three o'clock, three o'clock
