Cable car timetables, well-known maps
Head full of bad deeds, pockets full of deposit tokens
Go home, sleep it off, it’s already late
Reaction time, closing time, buy the last round
Until I’m the last one, well-known wounds tear open
Go home, sleep it off, as well as possible
I’m the last shadow that still wanders through the alleyways
In my hand, a light that will fade with time
Let the match burn as long as possible
I take the final train, go this distance again
At home, blanket over my head and stare at the cover
The key’s inserted, I lock you out, but it’s too late
You’re so loud in my head and everything’s spinning
I try to forget you, but it doesn’t work
I lie awake and remain helpless
What should I do? You make me sleepless
The silence pesters me, it tears me apart
Count the hours until morning and I don’t know
What has to happen? I remain helpless
What should I do? You make me sleepless
 
Sleepless, sleepless, sleepless...
 
Midnight, mental cinema, Super Eight projection
But the thoughts are asynchronous in vision and sound
A projector that only works splutteringly
The wallpaper in the rooms doesn’t stop reminding
Your shadows are still here and flicker
As if projected on the walls through hidden apertures
The film strips are stick in the same loops
The pictures jump like an insect that doesn’t get helped
The buzzing bewilders me and it keeps me awake
Limbs get warm as if feverish, breath cold
What digs barbs into my sheets
Is the fear of the night and what it does with me
You’re so loud in my head and everything’s spinning
I try to forget you, but it doesn’t work
I lie awake and remain helpless
What should I do? You make me sleepless
The silence pesters me, it tears me apart
Count the hours until morning and I don’t know
What has to happen? I remain helpless
What should I do? You make me sleepless
 
Sleepless, sleepless, sleepless...
 
What should I do? You make me sleepless
Cable car timetables, well-known maps
Head full of bad deeds, pockets full of deposit tokens
Go home, sleep it off, it’s already late...
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Leonard Cohen - Dance Me To The End Of Love 

 

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

 

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

 

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

 

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
