I'm the Nightshift Watchman for the planet   Five days a week I watch the tube   Five nights a week I'm waching radar   Easy Job with nothing much to do      Waiting in my air conditioned office   Down a thousand feet below the sand   Looking at the lines upon my finger   Thinking of the power in my hand      Chorus      If I do my job my job is over   If I start my day my days are through   If I set to work my work is over   Soon as I begin we'll all be through      I'm the nightshift watchman   I'm the nightshift watchman      Watching for some movement in the heavens   Waiting for some action down below   When it comes I'll follow my directions   When it comes its time for us to go      Chorus      Well I've a hand that looks alot like your hand   and I've a heart that feels the same as you   and I've a house and family on the surface   Someone's got to do this job I do.      I'm the Nightshift Watchman   I'm the Nightshift Watchman   I'm the Nightshift Watchman   I'm the Nightshift Watchman
