40 Hours in a Day

40 hours in a day
You take your sleep in snatches
Shaking like a leaf
Reading despatches
Music floods in from a crowded room
And the crowd all know your name

Work this out
Work this out
Together we have to work this out

You have 40 hours in a day
There's a party on a train
You don't know the destination
You buy the barman a drink
They hand you new passports
Stars aren't gonna come out tonight
You don't seem to touch the rails

Work this out
Work this out
Together we have to work this out

You have 40 hours in a day
You have 40 hours in a day
And you run through a cloud of dust
Past people turn to stone
Past people turned to rust
The blood has turned to alcohol
Your sweat has turned to silk

So work this out
Work this out
Together we have to work this out
I said sweat this out
Work this out
Together we've got to work this out

You have 40 hours in a day
40 hours in a day
