GUIDED BY VOICES
"A Portrait Destroyed By Fire"
(Mitch Mitchell / Robert Pollard)

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

Amber, neon, wet concrete
A well-worn path, a smothering heat
A curious pet in an open cage
Subjected to his masters rage, oh

A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire

A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire

A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire
A portrait destroyed by fire

A portrait destroyed by fire
