Lyrics

I work the graveyard shift in this sleepy little town
Just me and my machines when all the shops are shutting down
I'm here to take up slack, production times are tight
They love me down at the factory 'cause they know I'll work all night.

I am the midnight man working under my own power
I do it for the solitude and the extra 40 cents an hour
Midnight man
I am the midnight man

It's quiet here all by myself, no one messing with my mind
It's here I dream of greater things, it helps to pass the time
When all the folks are getting up I'm crawling into bed
I pull the shades against the dawn and wait for dark again.
