Lights going on, hair full of smoke
Streets are still empty, bakeries open up
Why would we go home? The music is here
Sure we don’t know the lyrics, but we’re singing our song
Suit-wearing guys in the subway going to work
Ask which theme party we were just at
We celebrate, that a new day begins,
That we’re like a nightmare for grumpy morning people
We don't want to go home yet
Make this day into night for us
And when everyone is dragging themselves out of bed
We’re still, still, still, still, still
wide awake, wide awake
Life is too short
We’re staying wide awake, wide awake
still, still, still, still
Hairdo beyond saving, feet are already numb
Drag through the city and dust swirls up
When the garbage collection comes, will be the first chance at sun
In the neon-orange of the flashy bright uniforms
The street sweeper sweeps, Tourists ask for directions
"Sorry, me no speak English" and keep going
Celebrate that a new day begins,
Sleep here, sleep there, there’s more to do!
We don't want to go home yet
Make this day into night for us
And when everyone is dragging themselves out of bed
We’re still, still, still,
still, still wide awake,
wide awake
Life is too short
We’re staying 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
Sun burns like hell
Summer rain in the morning
And Elyas M'Barek jumps out of the cake
Police searchlights and the neighborhood is (awake)
Feels like the corks have been popping for 4 ½ days
All eyes shine, no trace of worries
By the way, the NSA has located us (fuck)
But we don’t give a shit,
because we’re staying
Still, still
Still, still wide awake,
wide awake
Life is too short
We’re staying wide awake, wide awake
Still, still, still, still
Still wide awake,
Wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake, wide awake
Still
Still
Still
Still
Still
