The Cardigans

it's way to late to think of
someone I would call now
the neon signs got tired
red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in the corner
just hours before me

I'm walking with the roaches
the world has surreddered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
(the one I made friends with)
the comfort of fireflies
long gone before daylight

and if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
if God lent hid voice to me to speak
I'd say : "Go to bed, world!"

I've always been to lame
to see what's before me
and I know nothing sweeter then
champange from last new year's
sweet music in my ears
and a night full of no fear

but if I had one wish to fulfilled tonight
I'd ask the sun to never rise
if God passed the mike to me to speak
I'd say: "Stay in bed, world

...sleep in peace!"
