Sweet Serene - 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
