A man of the world but lost in a dream
You look at something from a different angle
But I exist, I'm waiting for you
In a coffin made of glass
Kiss me baby I'm attractive
Baby get to know me, show who you are
Give me that music, baby I'm eternal
Lying in a coffin waiting for you
In your dream a girl is dancing close to you
That girl is me
Once a witch made her sleep
But a prince will wake her up, it's you
Kiss me baby I'm attractive
Baby get to know me, show who you are
Give me that music, baby I'm eternal
Lying in a coffin waiting for you
Kiss me baby I am snow white
Sleeping in a coffin waiting for you
Waiting for magic, baby I am snow white
Sleeping in a coffin waiting for you
It's what I do
For me and you
Oh, kiss me baby, wake me up
Ohh, kiss me baby wake me up
Come on baby
Kiss me baby I am snow white
Sleeping in a coffin waiting for you
Waiting for magic, baby I am snow white
Sleeping in a coffin waiting for you

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
