Lyrics

[Verse 1]
À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Awake with open eyes
A drift upon the night
And miles away from land
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five
Five fifty-five
[Verse 2]
À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Ante meridiem
Too late to end it now
Too early to start again
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five
Five fifty-five
[Verse 3]
Soon the morning will arrive
Can I begin another day?
Of this old day is still alive
Refusing to be put away
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five, no sleep tonight
Five fifty-five
[Verse 4]
Like a beast awaits its fate
Laid here with time to kill
The very dead of night
Where time and space stand still
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five
Five fifty-five
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five, no sleep tonight
Five fifty-five
[Verse 5]
À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Nothing will ever change
On the altar of my thought
I sacrifice myself again, and again, and again
[Chorus]
Five fifty-five (And again, and again)
Five fifty-five (And again, and again)
[Outro]
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
