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 lent 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 the bad world... sleep in peace"
