Long Gone Before Daylight
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!"
