"How Do You Sleep?" lyrics - 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 nothing left 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 with 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
