LYRICS:
Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defenses down
Your camera looks through me
With it's X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Winds up locked in a circuitry
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)
What is this madness
That makes my motor run
And my legs too weak to stand
I go from sadness to exhilaration
Like a robot at your command
My hands perspire
And shake like a leaf
Up and down goes my temperature
I summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell me there is no cure
They tell me
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic, automatic
Automatic, automatic
Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defenses down
Your camera looks through me
With it's X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Wind up locked in the circuitry
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)

This is LSD at their best! In a live setting where each part can be clearly heard, mixed largely on the fly by the individual players/singers. The sparseness. I mean, yeah, Rachael's killin' it for sure, some of her best singing ever, and Aki's ridiculous on whatever that thing is, but it's the blend, how they all know how loud to be and when, that kind of thing. That's what makes these people historically good. I'm just happy that they can afford to be what they are in these times!
Melodica. That's a melodica, and he is killing it!
You damn right. You said it best. Luv dem
".. they all know how loud to be and when .." sums it up Chris, their rare talent
Your sound guy should be commended, it's not easy getting this level of sound quality from an outdoor performance in an urban environment! KUDOS! soooo gooooood!
Let's not forget Bridge rocking that bass like a vandal.
Loved this song with the Pointer Sisters. What a beautifully good way of showing respect (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery) and uplifting hearts. Thank you, Lake Street Dive.
Love how Akie is channeling just a bit of McDuck with the feet solidly planted on the sidewalk 💜
Hated the song back in the day. LOVE it now that LSD sings it!!!
Rachel in her lower register, YES PLEASE!
Love all your music, this is so good. The Sidewalk sessions are so amazing! Much love from Missouri!
Man, LSD sound is so unique!!! I will always be a hardcore fan.
This is half goose bumps and half huge smile...LOVE IT! I absolutely loved the original and this takes it up a notch...
I can't stop listening! These people obviously love making music
Leon - "Gladys you'll never guess ... who's BACK.
Gladys - "These kids have been singing on it for over 10 years." "What's so special about our sidewalk?"
Leon - "I don't know, but they sure can sing!"
Bridget! Totally holding it down!!! 🔥🔥💪💪❤️❤️
Tough song. That’s why you are great. You always challenge your enormous talent. You have since In This Episode (still my fave..so raw and diverse). Thanks always from a loyal lover
I've relished everyday for the last 4+ years after finding this great little band on YT!
I still have such a crush on Rachel! Her voice is like a hot toddy on a cold winter night...👋👁💖👁👍
This, boys and girls, is what TALENT sounds like!
her voice is so unique and magic! I love her!
As always you never disappoint. I love watching y'all perform.
Thanks for taking us back to the 80s in your unique way. Pure musical brilliance 👏🏻
Rachael is frickin' hypnotic, my God!
I'm so transfixed by her voice!

Love the performance and song. I bet that guy is still driving around trying to find y’all outside recording the videos. LOL 😂
Looks like the revamped group is going to be good.
amei, venham ao brasil
You’re all so amazing! I wish you would have filmed this 3 hrs later in the day for lighting tho
Looking forward to the Lake Street Dive's performance at Vancouver's historic Orpheum theatre, Oct 11
Talk it!
goosebumps all the time at 1:22
Come to Britain. Please!
I want to move to this neighborhood
Interesting to hear the studio version after this ... but this, like a lot of famous sketches by renowned artists, is in many ways better than the polished version.
I have come to love the organic nature of quality musicians recorded in the moment. It seems like most studio recordings these days are tracked and then assembled. Often the vocals are tweaked to improve the pitch. Sure, the end result can be rather polished, but quality artists often seem to be at their best when captured in a live full-group take like what we have here. At least that has become my experience.
Absolutely friggin amazing! How can we book you for a concert in Maryland?!!! My buddy does house concerts all the time in Baltimore!
I’ll never forget the Jefferson, Charlottesville…y’all have a bass from heaven miss bridge Im madly in love with u❤ n the best drummer since Hal Blaine rus kunkel Carlton Barrett n Stewart the Copeland! I call him socks cause u came out in Sox bro it was epic that night in VA my band n I had been whoring ourselves out playing college bars n shit y’all were there took my girl at the time it was surreal seeing y’all ❤where’s Olson these days btw?
I just can't HANDLE THIS! FUCK!
Love it! Hopefully you’re doing a studio version of this?
It was released (on Spotify) this week
Love it, I have a request the next cover EP can you all do teardrop by Womack and Womack😅😊
wold love to here you here you do Low spark at high heeled boys
Another Boston Sidewalk Session, another disappointed Boston resident that missed a great live show 😢 😞
See you tonight in Cincinnati!!!
Your so lucky, wish I was going!
I wish I did anything half as well as Bridget plays bass.
I 'member this place
When are y'all coming to Houston?!
Automatic fun machine 😮😬
Imagine you are the guy who parks just behind and when you’re out of the car LSD is playing right in front of you ! 😂😍
Hhhhhhuuuuuuuuge fan!
