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
4 o'clock
Never lets me sleep
I hang my head
Those dreams I pray for
Half past dead
Those candy filled doors
To unlock
At the dreaded hour of
4 o'clock
I close my eyes
Weep with the loss of needed sleep
Like a frightened child I do run
From the sleep that never will come
4 o'clock
So terrifying
I out of bed do creep
Searching for that needed sleep
Climb this tower of shame
That dreaded time still the same.
