Cover from the Sun Lyrics
Nancy takes a bow
Sheila takes Manhattan
Lunatics in satin
I think I know what you did last summer
You run for cover from the sun
So what's new, the girl thinks you are a blonde Che Guevara
Asleep in cars, theatre under stars
Shakespeare in the park, you've come undone
It was the year of the tour of the skin, not her own
My life's completely blown
I spent it on a feeling!
So sleep in cars
Theatre under stars
Read Shakespeare in the bars
I think I know what you did last summer
You run for cover from the sun
Sheila takes Manhattan
Lunatics in satin
I think I know what you did last summer
You run for cover from the sun
So what's new, the girl thinks you are a blonde Che Guevara
Asleep in cars, theatre under stars
Shakespeare in the park, you've come undone
It was the year of the tour of the skin, not her own
My life's completely blown
I spent it on a feeling!
So sleep in cars
Theatre under stars
Read Shakespeare in the bars
I think I know what you did last summer
You run for cover from the sun

What did Destroyer say about "Cover from the Sun"?
Genius Answer
Dan Bejar’s breakdown of all of the songs from ken
This is a really upbeat one, and the tone feels different than a lot of other Destroyer material.
When I first wrote it, it was much more in a pub rock vein. I was thinking of a Pete Doherty, picaresque kind of song. It seems like a short little adventure to me, a quick rollick. It’s atypical, which I think is cool.
It’s also filled with references. You go from the Smiths to Shakespeare in one line.
Yeah, that’s typical Destroyer bullshit. It’s a fun song that rips on itself in a way. It’s definitely mocking the singer.
