4 o’Clock Lyrics by Emilie Autumn

4 o’Clock

0

[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?
