A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Awake with open eyes
A drift upon the night
And miles away from land
5:55
5:55
A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Ante meridiem
Too late to end it now
Too early to start again
5:55
5:55
Soon the morning, it will arrive
Can I begin another day?
Whilst this old day is still alive
Refusing to be put away
5:55
No sleep tonight
5:55
Like a beast awaits its faith
Laid here with time to kill
The very dead of night
Where time and space stand still
5:55
5:55
5:55
No sleep tonight
5:55
A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Nothing will ever change
On the altar of my thought
I sacrifice myself again and again and again
5:55
5:55
And again
And again
And again
...
