lyrics

We’re your watchdogs
We’re your angels
You leave your mess and
We clear the tables
In silent streets
I’m all alone
Joe Walsh blaring
In my headphones and I…

I do a little strut through empty corridors
Because there’s no one else in sight
The city sleeps and I’m living its dream
Cuz they pay me to work all night

Work all night!
Work all night!

As we arrive
We see you leaving
We try to show there’s no hard feelings
We’re glad to be here
Even if we have to work all night

We do the same jobs
For extra bills
We spend the surplus sleeping pills
We’re catching up
But we’re gonna have to work all night

While you’re resting
We’re taking pains
To lay the tar and repaint the lanes
Maybe you’ll notice
Our work in the morning light

And all the haggard
Stumbling home
Whether you’re drunk or lost or stoned
We got your back
And we’re here to drive all night

Roast for breakfast
Eggs for supper
And half an hour to show my girl I love her
It’s just enough
To start the day off right

So pack your pity
Back in your hats
I’ll take it easy while you race the rats
And collect my share
Of the city when you leave tonight
