The Cardigans - No Sleep lyrics

It's way too late to think of

Someone I would call now

And 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 leant 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 sweeter than

Champagne from last New Years

Sweet music in my ears

And a night full of no fears

But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight

I'd ask for the sun to never rise

If God passed a mic to me to speak

I'd say stay in bed, world

Sleep in peace
