About This Track

'Sleep Together' by Garbage is a 1998 track from the album 'Version 2.0'. Its lyrics cast a relationship in physical terms, with a speaker describing someone “crawlin' up a mountain” and hanging around them, while imagery of being twisted and tangled builds an anxious, consuming mood. The pre-chorus leans into a stark sense of emptiness and chaos, followed by a line about satisfying it, as if desire is being used to paper over disorder. The overall effect is tense and intimate, more compulsion than comfort.

"Sleep Together" is a track by Garbage, from the album Version 2.0, released 11th May 1998. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Garbage.

Lyrics

Sleep Together

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

I got you crawlin' up a mountain

Hangin' 'round my neck

I got you twisted 'round my finger

Crawling 'round my legs

[Pre-Chorus]

The emptiness, the craziness

Satisfy this hungriness

Darling, how would it feel?

[Chorus]

If we sleep together

Will you like me better?

If we come together

We'll go down forever

If we sleep together

Will I like you better?

If we come together

Prove it now or never

[Interlude]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Make me a pretty person

Make me feel like I belong

Make me hard and make me happy

Make me beautiful

[Pre-Chorus]

The emptiness, the craziness

Satisfy this hungriness

Darling, how would it feel?

[Chorus]

If we sleep together

Will you like me better?

If we come together

We'll go down forever

If we sleep together

Will I like you better?

If we come together

Prove it now or never

[Outro]

If we sleep together

Nothing satisfies me, baby

If we sleep together

I'll wear something pretty, baby

If we sleep together

Give me what I crave now, baby

If we sleep together

Save the rest for later, baby

If we sleep together

You will drive me crazy, baby

If we sleep together

I save it all for you, my baby

If we sleep together

If we sleep together
