A Portrait Destroyed by Fire lyrics
by Guided by Voices
[Verse 1]
Rings of blue and rings of gold
So many stories to be told
It hurts me worse than it hurt you
You realize now that's not true, oh
[Verse 2]
Amber, neon, wet concrete
A well-worn path, a smothering heat
A curious pet in an open cage
Subjected to his master's rage, oh
[Chorus]
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
[Chorus]
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
[Chorus]
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
[Outro]
A portrait destroyed by fire
