People We Know Lyrics - Modest Mouse

The streets are just blankets and we sleep on their silky corpse 

Covered up by them, why would we ever want to wake up? 

Oh, no 

Well, of course, of course, of course, of course 

Of course we just do not know 

What in hell are we here for? 

We just do not know 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul 

The end is like cotton that we wear wherever we go 

Covered up by this, why would we ever want to try on your clothes? 

Well of course, of course, of course, of course 

Of course we just do not know 

Well, Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down 

(Let down your guard) 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your only son 

Of course we know, ah ah ah ah ah ah
