Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55 lyrics

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Awake with open eyes

A drift upon the night

And miles away from land

Five fifty five

Five fifty five

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Ante meridiem

Too late to end it now

Too early to start again

Five fifty five

Five fifty five

Soon the morning will arrive

Can I begin another day

Whilst this old day is still alive

Refusing to be put away

Five fifty five

No sleep tonight

Five fifty five

Like a beast awaits its faith

Laid here with time to kill

The very dead of night

Where time and space stand still

Five fifty five

Five fifty five

Five fifty five

No sleep tonight

Five fifty five

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Nothing will ever change

On the altar of my thought

I sacrifice myself again and again and again

Five fifty five

And again

Five fifty five

And again and again and again

And again and again and again...
