4 o’Clock

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four 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 [Verse 2: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four 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 four o'clock [Verse 1: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four 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 [Verse 2: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four 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 four o'clock [Chorus: Emilie Autumn] 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 [Chorus: Emilie Autumn & Backup Vocals, & Both] Why can we never go back to bed? Why can we never go back to bed? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme Ticking away from the ones we love Ticking away from the ones we love So many girls, so little time [Verse 1: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four 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 [Verse 2: Emilie Autumn] Four o'clock Four o'clock Out of bed I creep To climb this tower of shame But the hour's still the same Only slumber never came Only madness knows my name At four o'— [Chorus: Emilie Autumn] 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 [Chorus: Emilie Autumn & Backup Vocals, & Both] Why can we never go back to bed? Why can we never go back to bed? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme Ticking away from the ones we love Ticking away from the ones we love So many girls, so little time [Outro: Backup Vocals] Why can we never go back to bed? Why can we never go back to bed?
