03.45: No Sleep - The Cardigans

Original Album: Long Gone Before Daylight (2003)

It's way too late to think of

Someone I would call now

The neon signs got tired

Red-eyed flights help the stars out

I'm safe in a corner,

Just hours before me

I'll waken 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 arise

If God lent His voice to me to speak,

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

I've always been too late

To see what's before me

And I know nothing's sweeter than

Champaigne 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 for the sun to never arise

If God passed the mic to me to speak,

I'd say, "Stay in bed, world

Sleep in peace..."
