The Cardigans Follow

It's way too 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 a corner
Just hours before me

I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones 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 leant his voice to me to speak
I'd say: Go to bed, world

I've always been too lame
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champagne from last New Year's
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fear

But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed the mike to me to speak
I'd say: Stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace
