4 o'Clock 4 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 4 o'Clock 4 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 4 o'Clock Why can we never go back to bed? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense of these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half asleep? 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 boys, so little time Why can we never go back to sleep?

4 o'Clock 4 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 4 o'Clock 4 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 4 o'Clock Why can we never go back to bed? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense of these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half asleep? 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 boys, so little time Why can we never go back to sleep?
