4 O'clock

4 o'clock
 4 o'clock
 Never let me sleep
 I close my eyes and pray
 For the garish light of day
 Like a frightened child I run
 From the sleep that never comes
 4 o'clock
 4 o'clock
 Out of bed I creep
 To climb this tower of shame
 But the hour's still the same
 Only madness knows my name
 At 4 o'clock
 4 o'clock
 4 o'clock
 Never let me sleep
 I close my eyes and pray
 For the garish light of day
 Like a frightened child I run
 From the sleep that never comes
 4 o'clock
 4 o'clock
 Out of bed I creep
 To climb this tower of shame
 But the hour's still the same
 Only madness knows my name
 At 4 o'clock
 Why can we never go back to bed?
 Whose is the voice ringing in my head?
 Where is the sense in these desperate dreams?
 Why should I wake when I'm half past dead?
 Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime
 Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme
 Ticking away from the ones we love
 So many girls, so little time
 Why can we never go back to bed?
 Whose is the voice ringing in my head?
 Where is the sense in these desperate dreams?
 Why should I wake when I'm half past dead?
