Sleep Song - Lyrics - Bastille

The Bastille was a fortress in Paris, known formally as the Bastille Saint-Antoine. It played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison by the kings of France. It was stormed by a crowd on 14 July 1789 in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement, and was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille.

Don't talk to strangers Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side It is the hole you impose upon your life When you're out, loneliness, it crawls up in the ground It's what you feel, but can't articulate out loud Oh, you go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort All you want is someone onto whom you can cling Your mother warned of strangers and the dangers they may bring Your dreams and memories are blurring into one The scenes which hold the waking world slowly come undone You'll come undone Oh, you go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort You go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Don't talk to strangers, and don't walk into danger Don't talk to strangers, and don't walk into danger Oh, you go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort You go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort Don't talk to strangers Oh, you go to sleep on your own And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone It's a last resort
