About Insomnia
Composer(s): Mark Gane - Martha Ladly
Performer(s): Martha and the Muffins



Waiting for the dawn for a dream 
A chance to lie down
That confused imitation of life 
Eludes me now
All routes of resistance impaired by your face
Oh fugitive hope will I see you today?

In a tunnel, on a bridge or a viaduct 
We'll meet just by chance
And in a moment or maybe just an hour or so 
Renew our romance

And if the charms of foreign places call 
For changing tableaux
We will auction all our paintings 
And our furniture
And take to the road ...
Do you suppose?

The patterns on the wall never change but shadows grow long
Vous n'assassinez de la realité 
C'est malheuresement
As daylight disperses the spectres of night
My nocturnal musings don wings 
And take flight
