Guided By Voices - August by Cake

We Liken the Sun

We liken the sun to lightning
Perfect lightning

Time takes a lot
To Earth be lasting green
From birth to death
The wheel of hands
A lasting thing

We liken the glue and paint
To lightning saints

The boardwalk clowns
Saints and clowns

Burn your face
With your gun
Light your head
Liken the sun...
