Lyrics:

À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Awake with open eyes
A drift upon the night
And miles away from land
5:55
5:55
À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Ante meridiem
Too late to end it now
Too early to start again
5:55
5:55
Soon the morning will arrive
Can I begin another day
Whilst this old day is still alive
Refusing to be put away?
5:55
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
5:55
5:55
5:55
No sleep tonight
5:55
À cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Nothing will ever change
On the altar of my thought
I sacrifice myself again and again and again
5:55 (And again and again)
5:55 (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
And again and again
