The () is my interpretation

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow's world, hey playgirl (Your true self, ask you, the playgirl, why you decides to sleep away yourself by predicting yourself, and leave no space to what’s beneath you, why you pour out yourself, you are so busy figuring out how you are going to be and act, that you live in tomorrows world, and the question is, why play out yourself away from your existence)

Playgirl, why are you dancing when you could be alone, hey playgirl (Why dance and be in the centre when you’re not yourself)

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow's world, hey playgirl (Your true self, ask you, the playgirl, why you decides to sleep away yourself by predicting yourself, and leave no space to what’s beneath you, why you pour out yourself, you are so busy figuring out how you are going to be and act, that you live in tomorrows world, and the question is, why play out yourself away from your existence)

Playgirl, choking on cigarettes to get you along, hey playgirl (You choke your own cigarettes ´cause you go against yourself, only to live life like that)

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Northern lights catch you coming down (The side of yourself that you play out, sees what you’re doing) Sleep your way out of your hometown (You don’t want to have any contact with the true you, so you think it down, sleep your way out of hometown, so you don’t need to meet yourself, predicting yourself, play yourself out, and live in denial)

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow's world, hey playgirl (Your true self, ask you, the playgirl, why you decides to sleep away yourself by predicting yourself, and leave no space to what’s beneath you, why you pour out yourself, you are so busy figuring out how you are going to be and act, that you live in tomorrows world, and the question is, why play out yourself away from your existence)

Playgirl, why are you dancing when you could be alone, hey playgirl (Why dance and be in the centre when you’re not yourself)

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow's world, hey playgirl (Your true self, ask you, the playgirl, why you decides to sleep away yourself by predicting yourself, and leave no space to what’s beneath you, why you pour out yourself, you are so busy figuring out how you are going to be and act, that you live in tomorrows world, and the question is, why play out yourself away from your existence)

Playgirl, choking on cigarettes to get you along, hey playgirl (You choke your own cigarettes ´cause you go against yourself, only to live life like that)

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Northern lights catch you coming down (The side of yourself that you play out, sees what you’re doing)

Sleep your way out of your hometown (You don’t want to have any contact with the true you, so you think it down, sleep your way out of hometown, so you don’t need to meet yourself, predicting yourself, play yourself out, and live in denial)

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Northern lights catch you coming down (The side of yourself that you play out, sees what you’re doing)

Sleep your way out of your hometown (You don’t want to have any contact with the true you, so you think it down, sleep your way out of hometown, so you don’t need to meet yourself, predicting yourself, play yourself out, and live in denial)

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Northern lights catch you coming down (The side of yourself that you play out, sees what you’re doing)

Sleep your way out of your hometown (You don’t want to have any contact with the true you, so you think it down, sleep your way out of hometown, so you don’t need to meet yourself, predicting yourself, play yourself out, and live in denial)

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Hey playgirl, hey playgirl

Foreign coin on a telephone box (You let yourself be untouched)

A question mark on a calendar (You don’t know if you can let go of your regulation of yourself and leave yourself be)

An empty seat on the alpha line A sorting code, an account number

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl Northern lights got you coming down (The side of yourself that you play out, sees what you’re doing)

Sleep your way out of your hometown (You don’t want to have any contact with the true you, so you think it down, sleep your way out of hometown, so you don’t need to meet yourself, predicting yourself, play yourself out, and live in denial)
