[Verse 1]
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Watching every little move you make
Caterpillar won't you come outside
Leave your cocoon lying in the shade
[Verse 2]
I know you but do you recognize me
I understand if you don't reply
Oh, I've declared a war on sleep
Open your eyes little butterfly
[Chorus]
Rip van Winkle and the beauty queen
I've become the disciple of hard caffeine
Human alarm clock through the night
I can see the tunnel at the end of the light
[Verse 3]
Hibernation is an eyesore indeed
Gotta tiptoe on crystal glass
I'm slowing down she's ahead full-speed
And take it easy with the laughing gas
[Chorus]
Napoleon Bonaparte and Churchill too
Didn't sleep much just an hour or two
Human alarm clock through the night
Break through the skin and please take flight
[Bridge]
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
Outside
[Verse 4]
I know you but do you recognize me
I understand if you don't reply
Oh, I declared a war on sleep
Open your eyes little butterfly
[Chorus]
Rip van Winkle and the beauty queen
I've become the disciple of the hard caffeine
Human alarm clock through the night
I can see the tunnel at the end of the light
[Outro]
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
I'll be waiting 'til the sun will rise
Caterpillar won't you come outside
Outside
