Cree Summer - Mean Sleep Lyrics

[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 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
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
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
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
I had a mean sleep
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
I had a mean sleep
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

[Lenny Kravitz]
Coming back to life yeah
