5:55 lyrics - 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
