"Serene" lyrics - KRISTIN HERSH

KRISTIN HERSH
"Serene"

I'm going to do some Throwing Muses songs now, 'cause I feel like it.
Don't do that, I'll cry.

Sun bakes the window
Makes the sheets hot and wet
At night they're cold and blue

Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
Why do I like you?
'Cause I'd kill to be you

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene

Dancing with scissors
Our bones full of wishes
We wait for our plans to come true

Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
Why do I like you?
'Cause I'd kill to be you

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene

We fill each others arms
You wanna wish higher
You wanna live higher
Lose control

If you're in the ballpark
Then you can play the game
You know you know the rules

Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
I like you
'Cause I'm thrilled to be here

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene

[Applause]
