You say I'm letting life slip by
And starlights wasted on sleeping eyes
I stare all night into the sky
When all these stars have long since died

I've woken up a thousand times
Drawn the curtain, drawn the line
A thousand lives walk through my own
I stand still and stand alone

I wish I could believe in something bigger
In the space that lies between the good and bad here
The angels and thieves are drinking coffee
But I just want some sleep

An end to this day's masquerade
A suitcase packed and put away
The mirror is useless in the night
I see myself between the light

I wish I could believe in something bigger
In the space that lies between the good and bad here
The angels and the thieves are drinking coffee
But I just want some time

Time, time, time
The angels and the thieves are drinking coffee
But I don't want to sleep

I wish I could believe in something bigger
In the space that lies between the good and bad here
The angels and the thieves
Oh, the angels and the thieves are drinking coffee
But I just want some sleep
