tonite (今夜) - LCD Soundsystem

Written by：James Murphy/Al Doyle

Everybody's singing the same song

It goes tonite tonite tonite tonite tonite tonite

I never realized these artists thought so much about dying

But truth be told we all have the same end

Could make you cry cry cry cry cry

But I'm telling you

This is the best news you're getting all week

Oh sure it's ruling the airwaves

Or what remains of the airwaves

And we're frankly thankful for the market psychology you're hipping us to

And all the hits are saying the same thing

There's only tonite tonite tonite tonite tonite tonite

Man life is finite

But sh*t it feels like forever

It feels like forever

Oh is everybody feeling the same stuff

We're all wild

Except for you

And you know who you are

This is a love song

And you're getting older

I promise you this you're getting older

And there's improvement unless

You're such a winner

That the future's a nightmare

And there's nothing I can do

Nothing anyone can do about this

And oh I'm offering you a chance to get even

But oh you know very well the dialect of negation

Sure enemies haunt you with spit and derision

But friends are the ones who can put you in an exile

But that's not right

And you're too sharp to be used

Or you're too shocked from being used

By these bullying children of the fabulous

Raffling off limited edition shoes

And what's it you do again

Oh I'm a reminder

The hobbled veteran of the disc shop inquisition

Sent to parry the cocksure men-stick

Filth with mine own late-era middle-aged ramblings

Every lover favors the same things

It's all touch me touch me touch me touch me

Touch me tonite

We maybe realize what it is we need before we die

And luck is always better than skill at things

We're flying blind

Oh good gracious

I sound like my mom

But out of the little rooms and onto the streets

You've lost your internet and we've lost our memory

We had a paper trail that led to our secrets

But embarrassing pictures have now all been deleted

By versions of selves that we thought were the best ones

'Till versions of versions of others repeating

Come laughing at everything we thought was important

While still making mistakes that you thought you had learned from

And reasonable people know better than you

The cost in the long run but they don't know the short game

And terrible people know better than you

The use and abuse of the wants of dear listener

So you who've been badgered and taunted and told that

You're missing a party that you'll never get over

You hate the idea that you're wasting your youth

That you stood in the background oh until you got older

But that's all lies

That'
