Awake

I'm awake when the metro stops
Awake through the baker shops
Then outside I met the fox
Stumbling around the grey housing blocks
I asked him if he'd seen my love
He looked to the seagull above

No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with

I'm awake, fight'n the early bird
He was laughing 'bout my sleeping shirt
Far off, I hear policemen sing
But I'm still waiting for my clock to ring
I can't see the romance, no more
Each night the same quiet floor

No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with

I'm awake with visions in my ear
I don't know why they won't disappear
I pressed it up against my crumbling wall
But I can't find a sound in there at all
The question that won't let me sleep
Not blatant nor overly deep

No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with
No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with

I'm awake, and so is the street
So what's the question that won't let me sleep?
Chaotic thoughts, maybe someone knocks
I'm paranoid that it could be the fox
Sun in the cold empty hall
And the thump of the lonely clubs' call

No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with

I'm awake, and read the news again
To take my mind off the truth again
Well, scientists found 'The Cure' again
So I should take another listen then
The question that won't let me sleep
Not blatant nor overly deep

No one around, there's just no one around
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
To talk with
