how do you sleep? - LCD Soundsystem

Standing on the shore, facing east

I can’t feel you

Standing on the shore, facing east

Your impermanence

You’re taking water

Listing lazily out of view

I remember when we were friends

I remember calling you friend

Standing on the shore my ear aimed east

I can’t hear you

I can’t hear you anymore

I can’t hear you

I can’t hear you anymore

I still remember

Laughing and fighting

I still remember

Standing on the shore, watching for you

You’re painted into a corner

Whatever fits in your pockets;

you’ll get your due

Just like before

With all the others

You warned me about the cocaine

Then dove straight in

Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine

Then dove straight in

In hiding, where there’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

There’s more for you

Standing on the shore, getting old

You left me here amid the vape clowns

I must admit: I miss the laughing

But not so much you

One step forward

One step forward

One step forward

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

Standing on the floor, facing you

I can’t see you, your impermanence

This place is empty

Empty of you

And if I see you, it’s like nothing went wrong

Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong But there I go

Erasing our chances

Just by asking

«How do you sleep?»

One step forward

One step forward

One step forward

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back

And six steps back
