Lights go on, hair full of smoke
Streets are still empty, bakeries make
What would we want at home? The music is here
Sure there are no texts, but sing our song
Suits in the train station, go to work
Ask which motto-party we were just at
We celebrate, that the new day begins
That for us the daily grind is a nightmare
We don't want to go home
Make our day into night
And when all are tormented in bed
We are still, still, still
still, still wide awake, wide awake
Life is too short
We stay wide awake, wide awake
still, still, still, still
Hairdo beyond saving, feet are already numb
Drag through the city and dust swirls around
When the garbage disposal comes, the first will be sunned
In neon-orange flashy bright uniforms
The street sweeper sweeps, Tourists ask for directions
"Sorry, me no speak English" and go on our way
Celebrate, the new day begins,
Sleep down, sleep here, Keep going we can do better
We don't want to go home
Make our day into night
And when all are tormented in bed
We are still, still, still
still, still wide awake, wide awake
Life is too short
We stay wide awake, wide awake
still, still, still, still
This day is still young
Just like we are
You can't go yet, it's way too early
I need you here
Come, we'll capture the moment
Come, we'll capture the moment
Wide awake, wide awake
wide awake, wide awake
wide awake, wide awake
Still
Still
Still
Still
Still
