"Serene" / "Serene Swing"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Sun bakes the window
Makes the sheets hot and wet
And 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 other's arms
You wanna wish higher
You wanna live higher
Lose control
If you're in the ball park
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
