À cinq heures cinquante-cinq Awake with open eyes A drift upon the night And miles away from land 5:55 5:55 À cinq heures cinquante-cinq Ante meridiem Too late to end it now Too early to start again 5:55 5:55 Soon the morning will arrive Can I begin another day Whilst this old day is still alive Refusing to be put away? 5:55 No sleep tonight Five fifty five 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 À cinq heures cinquante-cinq Nothing will ever change On the altar of my thought I sacrifice myself again and again and again 5:55 (And again and again) 5:55 (And again and again) And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again and again
