Graveyard shift

"Graveyard shift" is a song by LorD and Master released on 27 October 2023 to coincide with Hallowe'en. The song is about monsters in a bar, looking for fresh meat. Might be a bit of a metaphor for certain late-night bars.

Lyrics

Working the graveyard shift
In a graveyard out of the way
Creatures and monsters drift
From the light of day

We get all sorts here
It’s like bloodsports here
Hell’s rising heat
Who can pick up fresh meat

You won’t see the sunshine any more
They silently move to lock the door

Working the graveyard shift
In a graveyard out of the way
Creatures and monsters drift
From the light of day

Standing in corners
They way they haunt us
A dim and dingy room
You’ll never know what’s in the gloom

You won’t see sunshine any more
They silently move to lock the door

Working the graveyard shift
In a graveyard out of the way
Creatures and monsters drift
From the light of day

Working the graveyard shift
In a graveyard out of the way
Creatures and monsters drift
From the light of day
