The basic message, from what I understand, is a guy who is trying to help this girl who's a hooker or so to get her life back. He's just being a nice guy and sells alot of his own possessions just so he could gather enough money to keep her from doing 'dirty work'. Eventually he's sold everything and he's just in his underwear (skivvies).
Woot, i'm listening to it right now :D Besides the lyrics, This track is AMAZING.. pumping it up |

I always thought the guy wasn't actually trying to save her, he just was just paying for sex a lot. Hence the reason he pawns all of his belongings. Hence the reason she says 'no scratch, no snatch' when he runs out of money.
The Luke Chable remix is very good.
ps: what a bum rap. |

Actually, I think you may be right, the "You figure you can save her" bit throws me off. But it does make more sense now. And yes, the Luke Chable remix is very good :D |

The details of it...
Got it from here - The site basically tells you EVERYTHING there is to know about the track, its history and its remixes.
What is this track “You Are Sleeping” all about?
“You Are Sleeping” was first released June 2002 and featured the Deephead Pass, Thumpin’ Instrumental, Bonus Beats and DJ Tools. It was tribal drumming workout that was minimal in the inclusion of other samples. But what made it a standout was the bizarre spoken word story told at the breakdown by a man’s experience with picking up a prostitute that hustles to earn money for her smack addiction. He goes on to say he thinks he can save her, ends up selling all his possessions and ends up broke, with her responding to that with “no scratch, no snatch” and leaves him. After recounting being homeless, getting beat up, having the prostitute stroll by and tell him he looks horrible and hang tough, he concludes that it was a bum wrap for being a nice sensitive guy. An Asian sounding female then states “…you are sleeping…you do not want to believe.” You might recall that same female from the end of The Smith’s “Rubber Ring,” but it actually originates from a early 70s project by the “Parapsychic Acoustic Research Cooperative” in which they recorded the unexplained strange voice interruptions that seem to occur during phone conversations and radio & tv broadcasts. This sample is part of those recordings in which they believed they were actually from the after-life or from aliens. Very Twisted.
In 2003, PQM decided to revamp it and called in pal, Luke Chable just in time for the Winter Music Conference. It was the buzz of the night at Danny Howell’s “BED” party, where it was initially premiered. In August, Yooshi finally released that mix along with a dub, plus a remix and dub from some creative Southern talent (Dave from Dallas & DJ Redeye), proving that D:Fuse isn’t the only one who needs to be recognized from Texas! |

this site has some info on the Parapsychic Acoustic Research Cooperative...
| quote: |
Apparently, mr. Jurgenson found that, through gradual experimentation, he was able to effectively capture the voices of the deceased against the background noise of short-wave radio signals. Sort of like the Conet Project of the Damned. What makes this disc so ephemeral is that it is a recording of mr. Jurgenson playing back his tapes, sometimes backwards or at the wrong speed. So you hear radio static, a really creepy voice in Swedish, and then the loud snap of the 'stop' button being pushed. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not a mass-release disc, so best of luck to you. |

| Brilliant track, plenty of threads about it already though, but I think someone said that it the lyrics were from a radio show in NYC off of NPR or some other radio station. |
