Sleep - Godspeed You! Black Emperor

It was Coney Island

It was Coney Island

They called Coney Island the playground of the world

There was no place like it

In the whole world like Coney Island

When I was a youngster

No place in the world like it

And it was so fabulous

Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing

You see

And uh I still remember in my mind

How things used to be and

Uh you know I feel very bad

But people from all over the world came here

From all over the world

It was the playground they called it

The playground of the world

Over here

Anyways you see I

Uh

You know

I even got when I was very small

I even got lost at Coney Island

But they found me

On the

On the beach

And we used to sleep on the beach here

Sleep overnight

They don't do that anymore

Things changed

You see

They don't sleep anymore on the beach
