How Do You Sleep

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead All dressed up for dinner, looked so fine Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered With the finest military quick lime Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss The apple in your mouth slipped in mine The orchestra played the sweetest serenade We laughed as we put away your wine So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives May all their ghost come back to haunt you And tell you how they died How do you sleep How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay How do you feel When you close your eyes and try and drift away Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more When the angel of death comes knock, knocking And banging at your door When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder Took you home, away from it all Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed Tastefully hung up on my wall Are my dreams your nightmares Get off your knees, the party's over I'm coming home to you How do you sleep How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay How do you feel When you close your eyes and try and drift away Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more When the angel of death comes knock, knocking And banging at your door How do you sleep How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay How do you feel When you close your eyes and try and drift away Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more When the angel of death comes knock, knocking And banging at your door At your door --- How Do You Sleep - The Stone Roses
