Silver And Gold (live /w Vanessa Paradis)
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

(Vanessa Paradis)
How many children must die
How many rivers run dry
How many angels must cry
For silver and gold

(Lenny Kravitz)
Why don't we learn
From our past
How many more years
Will we last
'Cause life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
For Silver and gold
How much more time
Can we waste
How much more land
Be defaced

(Lenny Kravitz)
Oh Yeah
'Cause soon we will all be erased
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
'Cause our earth should last forever
And our lives forever on, on ...

(Lenny Kravitz)
For God gave us all to partake

(Vanessa Paradis)
Why can we just learn to relate
We're pissing on our children's face
For silver and gold.

(Lenny Kravitz & Vanessa Paradis)
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
For silver and gold

(Lenny Kravitz & Vanessa Paradis)
For silver and gold

Sistamamalover
Words & Music: Lenny Kravitz

I've gone from talkin' to walkin'
You touch me deep down inside
Oh can't you see that I'm fallin'
And I can no longer hide

You are my everything
my sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow
And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

When I get up in the morning
I feel like I'm so alive
With you it never gets boring
'Cause you always get me high
High

You are my everything
my sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow
And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

I'll never go with another
'Cause baby you are so fly
Don't have to live undercover
Because I don't have to lie
I don't have to lie baby

You are my everything
my sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow
And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow


Sister
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

Sister
Did you have to fall in love
With a man that was up to no good
He took your soul an he stole your only heart
Flipped your wig and left a permanent scar

Sister
Did you have to go away
You left your home
And the things you had to say
It didn't feel good to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
I miss you girl I think I'm gonna cry

If they knock on your door you already gave
You don't need no more of what's ailing you
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May God bring back home to America
America

Sister
It's just a test of faith
Your heart is pure so the devil's in your face
I'll see you soon 'cause thy haven't got a case
You'll be free in a beautiful place

If they knock on your door you already gave


Sittin' On Top Of The World
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

Remember the times we used to play
We'd sing and we'd dance all damn day
But all I do is sing the blues
But have I forsaken you by telling you
What you must do
And all I do is sing the blues
But I would never lie, let things go by
Leave you in a road to die
I would never ever say good bye

Never gonna say good bye
Never gonna say good bye

Remember the times that we
Used to share
You got to remember the times
That we used to share
That we used to share

But the only way for you to survive
Is to open your heart it will guide
You wanna stay in this world of music and life
You got to turn around
And spread a little love and get high


Smooth My Heart
Written by: C.S. Francks and D.R. Harris
 
It's a good journey 
I'm in no hurry
I can see chaos heading straight for me
Give me the dark night let the sun ignore me
Cause everythings alright even what ain't good for me

It's a good journey 
I'm in no hurry
Not looking for handouts don't need no glory
Leave my conditions leave my edges blurry
Got nothing to hold to can't stay gracefully

Make my silence softer
Take the thrill out of my anger
May I sleep through the heat
And wake up a stranger

I'll smooth my heart down long enough
For the world to come around 


Someone Like You
Written by: Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross

Waiting impatiently for you to come
Wondering if you will always be the one
Is this good for you
Is it wonderful for you too
'Cause baby I told you I'm ready for love
I'm anticipating and waiting for some
Tell me what to do
Tell me baby 'cause I love you
It's been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been looking for someone like you
Someone like you
What do you like to do
What do you got to say
Just tell me baby what's on your brain
'Cause I just want to sit down and talk for awhile
Do you want to make babies ?
Do you want a career
Well whatever it is darling, I just want you near
And we'll be together just you and me dear
It's been so lovely (It's been so lovely)
Since I find you
I was praying for someone like you
Someone like you
Ain't been lonely
Now that I got you
I was waiting for someone like you
Come on come on come on yeah
Been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been waiting for someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you ......


Soul Sister
Written by: C.S. Francks and G. Bell

Had a friend once upon a time who had a hunger to learn
Good and bad was all she had and all she was concerned
She found out they were one and the same
The truth don't need to have a name

She loved to share with the moon soon she shared with me
The adventure this life could be
If we just let ourselves be free
She gave me peace of mind 
Like a butterfly song to a rainbow shrine
And today feels good

We never answered too much we asked all the time
Why it was always looking and what there was to find
We threw it all into the wind laughter sharing
Me and my best friend

Her voice was fine and it eased my soul
Her face was young but her eyes where old
And magic would unfold

We worship the goddess of the earth
Daughter of life     
Mother of birth
We belong where the mystic is strong
Humming a butterfly song

And today feels good soul sister 


Spinning around over you

Baby, tell me that my love ain't good
I don't treat you right
I don't do it like I should

You try to tell me that my heart ain't true
How would I waste my time doin' all I do for you ?

You ask me, baby, why you hesitate
That you just can't wait
But it takes the time it takes

Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round over you

You think I dissed you , so you pack your bags
You just kicked me 'round
You just through me out like trash

Now baby, babe, I’m on my knees for you
Well I might be late but what you're gonna do ?

Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round over you

Baby, baby, gimme half a chance
I could treat you right
I'll give you good times and romance
'Cause baby, baby, I'm in love with you
You're my superstar
Tu es mon petit chouchou yeah

Spinnin' round and round and round 
Spinnin' round and round and round
Spinnin' round and round over you


Stand By My Woman
Written by: Lenny Kravitz/Henry Hirsch/S. Pasch/A. Krizan

There were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talk
I'm on the phone
But now baby I am here for you alone

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

There were times I didn't understand
And there were times I wouldn't hold your hand
But baby now I'm here for you
'Cause baby I am so in love with you

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
Stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now

'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
Without a home



Still Heart
Written by: C.S. Francks, L. Kravitz and T. Ruffin
 
Couldn't find where to rub myself
I didn't want to close my eyes 
I would scream just to wake myself
Just to wake myself inside

Broken into human parts I was sheltered by his chin
Lives spent in wet cement underneath his skin

Still on my neck the breath of the dead
Even as blood and bone
I can tolerate a still heart
But I can't stand being alone

Open me up anywhere you wish
Take out anything you like
Seal me up when you're through
Leave a little room for surprise
Made myself new one too many times
To swallow his breath away
I left too much space upon my back
To ever make him want to stay

Still on my neck the breath of the dead
Even as blood and bone
I can tolerate a still heart
But I can't stand being alone 


Stop Draggin' Around
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

Thinking positivity
If you wanna be with me
I'll take you to the promised land
Come on baby take my hand

Stop draggin' around

Higher and higher and higher we get
I'll freak you like a sex-o-lette
You say you wanna be my wife?
I'll take you to another life, come on

Stop draggin' around

Come on baby take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land

Stop draggin' around


Storm
Words: Lenny Kravitz, Carter / Music: Lenny Kravitz

My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars
And you're the only one that could take me this far
I'll be forever searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

At night, I pray before I sleep in hope of finding you
I've opened up my heart, I want you to come through
I close my eyes, I'm searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

Jay-z: I got the bounce Lenny
Check me out
Brooklyn's bad boy back again
Feet hit the ground runnin' and my back's to the wind
Angels on my shoulders, head in the clouds
No, I'm not rappin', I'm just thinkin' real loud
My karma's my armor, my charm and wit
Is like a lethal bomb, I'm warm and s***
And I did bad for good but when you're trapped in the 'hood
You do worse for less, homie earth's a test
Only god can judge me
My heart ain't ugly
But the thoughts that I drop is heavy
Try budge me
Mama loved me, pop left me
Still the homies call me lucky lefty
I'm flashy and bentley
Deceptively smart
I make hustlin' heaven and pimpin' an art
Long as I know that I'm blessed
'Cause I'm loved in depth
I can walk through the water and not get wet
I'm that fresh

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

Jay-Z: There you have it
Young hov, Lenny Kravitz
Not your average
Get your umbrella
It's raining macs and broads
all grace to god

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?


Straight Cold Player
Music & Lyrics: Lenny Kravitz

I'm a straight cold player
Just a straight cold player
Straight cold prayer

Straight cold player
I'm just a straight cold player
Straight cold player
Just a straight cold player
Straight cold player

I'm yours and you are here
Don't you really want to feel
That my love is turning on

Sunday Mondays
Written by: Lenny Kravitz/Henry Kirsch

The sun is out
The clouds are slowly going
And now my heart is growing fast
So let's get up
Put on you hat and clothing
Let's take a trip and lose our minds

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day

Sometimes it's fun
To just escape and run
And leave the troubled world behind
So let's get lost
And get our juices flowing
And let's go see what we can find

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day

Let's go walking through the park today
I love sunday mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take sunday mondays any every day

Superstition
Written by: Stevie Wonder

Very superstitious
Writing's on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder's about to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't want to save me
Sad is my song

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
Devil's on his way
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Superstition ain't the way...
Superstition ain't the way...


Sweet Pain
Written by: C.S. Francks and V. Hunt
 
Stuff myself into your reason
I lie real close and cling
I'd get small I'd even crawl
For the madness you would bring

Find comfort in your tangled words
I'd be sharper than your grief
I'd gather up into the dust of all your fears
And live in the corners of what you believe

I'd conjure up a second heart
To house your sweet pain
I'd love you so hard other folks
Wont have to strain to hear
I'd become your shadow
And haunt for just a taste of your want

This sickness is a mutant bliss
It's a slow steady shrinking into thinking
I'd evaporate without your hate
To remind me Im still here

I'd conjure up a second heart
To house your sweet pain
I'd love you so hard other folks
Won't have to strain to hear

I'd become your shadow 
And haunt for just a taste of your want

More than any other could 
I would love you 

up
