Mean Sleep

Cree Summer

Lenny Kravitz:

What can we scrape together

With just the flesh as evidence

Handfuls of hate

And the bittersweet ambivalence



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs

And I'm folding into myself



Lenny Kravitz:

Who will find me under this mean sleep



Cree Summer:

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

And it hurts, hurts coming back to life



Lenny Kravitz:

You could burn a thousand days

And I would need no other light

You could die a thousand ways

And I'd still love you back to life



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

But my needs rising angry

And my loneliness like quicksand



Lenny Kravitz:

Who will find me under this mean sleep



Cree Summer:

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

And it hurts, hurts coming back to life



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

And it hurts, hurts coming back to life



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

I am lost to the longing

I am moulded by the memory



Lenny Kravitz:

Had to shut down half my mind



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

Just to still the space you left behind



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs

And I'm folding into myself



Lenny Kravitz:

Who will find me under this mean sleep



Cree Summer:

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?



Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

And it hurts, hurts coming back to life



Lenny Kravitz:
