"How Do You Sleep At Night?" lyrics
Sooner or later the ice that we stand on will crack
The rope that we hang from will snap
While everyone's searching for rhyme or reasons
Then a corpse will rise up from the back with a clash
While everyone lets out a gasp
With everyone searching for some small meaning now
You fried your head and figured out somehow
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
Oh, oh
Late in the night when I'm lying alone in my bed
I lie to myself and forget
Allowing myself to be inundated
Then a voice will rise up in the back of my head
To remind me of something I said
To remind me of something I meant when I was young
What would it be like to come undone?
To burn it all down!
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
Oh, oh
Joy, where have you been my love?
Where do you hide yourself when the light is fading all around, dear?
Just when I needed you
I thought I saw your outline in the distance
This is how we will be when the darkness, it swallows us whole
We're on our own
And that's how it goes, I know
But every now and then I have hope
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we
They all know what we
We all know what you've
Done!
The rope that we hang from will snap
While everyone's searching for rhyme or reasons
Then a corpse will rise up from the back with a clash
While everyone lets out a gasp
With everyone searching for some small meaning now
You fried your head and figured out somehow
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
Oh, oh
Late in the night when I'm lying alone in my bed
I lie to myself and forget
Allowing myself to be inundated
Then a voice will rise up in the back of my head
To remind me of something I said
To remind me of something I meant when I was young
What would it be like to come undone?
To burn it all down!
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
Oh, oh
Joy, where have you been my love?
Where do you hide yourself when the light is fading all around, dear?
Just when I needed you
I thought I saw your outline in the distance
This is how we will be when the darkness, it swallows us whole
We're on our own
And that's how it goes, I know
But every now and then I have hope
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we've done
What we've become
What we all do when the chains are undone
Oh! How, how can you forgive yourself
When you threw in the towel
And became the very thing you detest
How, how do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
When everybody knows what we
They all know what we
We all know what you've
Done!
