Serene King

Guided by Voices

Everywhere I go
People wanna know
Who I am
So I tell them
I am the serene king
In a half-asleep dream
Waltz across a battlefield

Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene

Recognize a sweet deal
Listen to the paint peel
But I know it's good to go
When I get out around town
People in surround sound
On the streets scenes
Wave at me

Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene

But it sings me to sleep
When I'm almost ankle deep
And the captions are wrong
Once again, even though

Crystalline revolution
It's my own surreal solution
Everything is serene
An artificial flower
Needs an isolated shower
'Cause it's shinier when I'm clean

Everywhere I go
People wanna know
Who I am
So I tell them
I am the serene king
In a half-asleep dream
Waltz across a battlefield

Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
Oh, my name is Serene
