Cardigans, The - 03.45: No Sleep

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 bed, World... Sleep in peace!"
