I see today with a newsprint fray my night is colored headache grey daysleeper
the bull and the bear are marking their territories they're leading the blind with their international glories
I'm the screen, the blinding light I'm the screen, I work at night.
I see today with a newsprint fray my night is colored headache grey don't wake me with so much. daysleeper.
I cried the other night I can't even say why fluorescent flat caffeine lights its furious balancing
I'm the screen, the blinding light I'm the screen, I work at night I see today... don't wake me with so much. the ocean machine is set to 9 I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine my bed is pulling me. gravity daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper. daysleeper.

Whow, this song really rocks. I am not a fan of rem since a long time. But they got my first attention with daysleeper. So this song will always have a special place in my heart. Keep up the good work boys.

i have a note for you the album eponymous is not on the page why is tha because it is a very beautiful album so how does it com that you dont have that one on this page?
By Veronique
I love this song, because its really peacfull and nice to hear. not so much the lyrics, but just the music.
By dani
it's not my favourite, somehow too quiet, with no fire in it, if you see what I mean....Veronique, I suppose Eponymous is not on the list because it's been assembled by the record company as a Greatest Hits, not as a real CD with new songs. I think, at least.
