Tina Dickow - No Time To Sleep (A Detour) lyrics

Who's gonna sing a song of change
If no one can imagine life
Outside the beaten track?
And who's gonna stop the running train
If no one cares to dwell and
No one wants to look back?

Somewhere along the line you gave up asking
When it got a little too complex
But if you don't question what has been
Does it mean that you don't
Care what's coming next?

You've got no one to follow
And no one will follow you
Ain't that a relief?
That everything and everyone must
Grow in opposition
To resistance and contradiction - this ain't
No time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep


This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep

So who's gonna sing a song of faith
If no one prays for anything that
Can't be bought or sold?
And who's gonna tell the story straight
Does anyone believe there's still a
Story to be told?

Somewhere along the line you
Just stopped walking
When the undercurrent got too strong
Someday a lonely busker will come knocking
With a soft and long forgotten song

That you've got no one to follow
And no one will follow you
Ain't that a relief?
That everything and everyone must
Grow in opposition
To resistance and contradiction - this ain't
No time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
Oh, this ain't no time to go to sleep
