Mean Sleep
(Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer)
What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence
Handfuls of hate
And the bittersweet ambivalence
'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep ?
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
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
But my needs rising angry
And my loneliness like quicksand
Who will find me under this mean sleep ?
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?
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
Had to shut down half my mind
Just to still the space you left behind
'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life
I had a mean sleep
had a mean, mean sleep over you
I had a mean sleep
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life…
