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   ...
