The night's synthetic half-light Rolls over your steering wheel I'm closing my eyes just for a while (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) The house - the first thing I see Filled up with a family Surrounded by city and by sea (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) Will you wake me when we're almost halfway I don't wanna take this trip alone A saint is chasing a snake For everybody's sake And so they go burning cars (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) The mother prepares the weapon Before handing it to son Who watches as daddy runs (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) Will you wake me when we're almost halfway I don't wanna take this trip alone Cause I'd never reach my home The flames wander through the city And set fire to the sea Then out of the blaze appears a face (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) A girl with a look in her eyes As if to say, "I despise Such poisonous family ties" (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) But a poison as sweet as nectar Could never forget or neglect her It carries her home and closes her eyes (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) So she goes back under Swallows the water Fixes her face like a good little daughter And follows her family Who follow a saint and a snake (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) Will you wake me when we're almost halfway I don't wanna take this trip alone Cause I'd never reach my home No I'd never reach my home No I'd never reach my home Home (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) (Wake me when we're almost halfway) (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) (Wake me when we're almost halfway) (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) (Wake me when we're almost halfway) (Can you call me when we're almost halfway) (Wake me when we're almost halfway)
