Mean Sleep

[Verse 1: Lenny Kravitz] What can we scrape together With just the flesh as evidence? Handfuls of hate And the bittersweet ambivalence [Pre-Chorus: Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz] 'Cause I am brushin' cobwebs And I'm foldin' into myself Who will find me under this mean sleep? [Chorus: Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz, & Both] How could the clouds tease us into thinkin' it might rain? How could the need deceive us into thinkin' things might change? I had a mean, mean sleep over you And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life [Verse 2: 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 [Pre-Chorus: Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz] But my need's risin' angry And my loneliness like quicksand Who will find me under this mean sleep? [Chorus: Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz, & Both] How could the clouds tease us into thinkin' it might rain? How could the need deceive us into thinkin' things might change? I had a mean, mean sleep over you And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life I had a mean, mean sleep over you And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life [Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz] I am lost to the longing I am moulded by the memory Had to shut down half my mind Just to still the space you left behind [Pre-Chorus: Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz] 'Cause I am brushin' cobwebs And I'm foldin' into myself Who will find me under this mean sleep? [Chorus: Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz, & Both] How could the clouds tease us into thinkin' it might rain? How could the need deceive us into thinkin' things might change? I had a mean, mean sleep over you And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life (Comin' back to life; I had a mean sleep) I had a mean, mean sleep over you (I had a mean sleep; I had a mean sleep) And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life (Comin' back to life; comin' back to life) I had a mean, mean sleep over you (I had a mean sleep) And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life (Comin' back to life, yeah; comin' back to life) I had a mean, mean sleep over you (Oh, yeah; I had a mean sleep) And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life (Comin' back to life) I had a mean, mean sleep over you (I had a mean sleep) And it hurts, hurts comin' back to life (Comin' back to life; comin' back to life) I had a mean, mean sleep over you (I had a mean sleep)
