03:45: No Sleep

The Cardigans · Long Gone Before Daylight [2003]

It's way to late to think of

someone I would call now

The neon signs got tired

red eye flights help the stars out

I'm safe in a corner

just hours before me



I'm waking with the roaches

the world has surrendered

I'm dating ancient ghosts

(the ones I made friends with)

The comfort of fireflies

long gone before daylight



And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight

I'd ask for the sun to never rise

If God lent his voice to me to speak

I'd say: "Go to bed, world"



I've always been to lame

to see what's before me

And I know nothing sweeter than

champagne from last New Year's

Sweet music in my ears

and a night full of no fear



But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight

I'd ask the sun to never rise

If God passed the mic to me to speak

I'd say: "Stay in bed, world"



Sleep in peace
