Second Sleep Lyrics by Magdalena Bay
Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don’t wake up, oh
I have the sense not to make a mess
I fall in love just to hurt myself
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Time to toughen up
Gotta get some help
Sun’s coming up, put the coffee on, and shudder on out the door
Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don’t wake up, it’s all been a bad dream
Yeah, the world’s waking up, it’s not the proto-days
No sleeping in, call the cops, drug me up, send the men off to war
Second sleep is calling out to me (ah-oh)
If I don’t wake up, it’s all been a bad–
Understanding that love is so demanding
In the city, your love is when you’re winning, yeah
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, ooh
(Second sleep is calling out to me)
(If I don’t wake up, it’s all been a bad dream)
I’m suffering, do you feel this cold?
I’ll warm you up, when we get to hell
Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don’t wake up, I’ll see you in my dreams
It’s not natural
Yeah, and I really need some help
Oh, take it back
Tear the city down, don’t build it up anymore
Second sleep is calling out to me
If I don’t wake up, it’s all been-
Oh, shut up
So far to get to where you are
Understanding that love is so demanding, oh
In the city, your love is when you’re bleeding, yeah, oh
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-ah
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-ah
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-ah
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la
