Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55 lyrics

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