Guided by Voices - I'll Name You The Flame That Cries lyrics

Cherub blown apart

baby's in the bed

sit around and mope

better not

can't be long from me

Here they linger

probably in danger

read it on a flyer

glisten on the burner

king shows anger, "reign, man!"

he will deal with it later, send them away

send them away then

not gonna spank you

and we thank you from all of our hearts

send them away then

they're developing rashes

down on the ashes

and after the body-parts

visiting down there

trying to cling there

it don't mean a thing there

Warlock bought her,

animal's little daughter

smiling in spite that she's a spy

while she's singing, an insect stinging

glowing, winging by

if this one will call you like a tide

it can only breed alone

so alone it flys

to enslave you by the night

you can only weep alone

I'll name you the flame that cries

Yeah we did it

we brought you in this ready

takes a quick one to find the light

high speed child in motion

and you can't come along for the ride

yeah we made it with a pitchfork and machete

wow, that's amazing, can I try?

no dangerous weather is approaching

and we wouldn't want you to slide

Visiting down there

trying to cling there

it don't mean a thing there
