5:55 - Charlotte Gainsbourg

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 kill 
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
