Cardigans - 03. 45: No Sleep lyrics

It's way too late to think of

Someone I would call now

The neon signs got tired.

Red-eyed flights help the stars south

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 friend 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 lend 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's sweeter than

Champaign from last new years

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 pass the might to me to speak...

I'd say: "stay in bedworld... sleep in peace!"
