Lyrics: Sweet Serene
Album: Last Dog & Pony Show
Artist: Bob Mould
 

I needed the rain to wash away indifference
I needed the wind to air out the differences
I needed the sun to warm up my spirits
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered
I wanted some time without the impositions
I wanted a life beyond the spanish inquisition
I wanted so little, but it seems i need so much
Too much to ask for, but i want what i deserve
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered

When i walk, i don’t care where i’m going
All i know is the movement does me good
Gravitation, pulleys, puppet strings
Paper, scissors, rock me back to sweet serene

I could have stayed inside for another year
I could have died if i hadn’t disappeared

Too much to ask for, but i want what i deserve
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered
