Lenny Kravitz
Mean Sleep
[Lenny Kravitz:]
What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence?
Handfuls of hate
And the bittersweet ambivalence

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
Cause I am pushing 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:]
Cause 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:]
Coming back to life
[Cree Summer:]
I had a mean sleep

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
I had a mean, mean sleep over you

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
I had a mean sleep

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

[Lenny Kravitz:]
Coming back to life

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
I had a mean, mean sleep over you

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
I had a mean sleep

[Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer:]
And it hurts
Hurts coming back to life

[Repeat until end:]
[Lenny Kravitz:]
Coming back to life, yeah
