SMASHING PUMPKINS
     
 


1979

Shake down 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
Headlights pointed at the dawn
We where sure we'd never see an end to it all

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are

We feel the pull in the land of the thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamenated and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apolgies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it

To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around



Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

(Chorus)
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage (2x)
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got when you feel the same

(Chorus)

(Chorus 2)

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

(Chorus)
(Chorus 2)


Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved



Tonight, Tonight

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight


The End Is The Beginning Is The End

Music From And Inspired By Batman & Robin

The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange

Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain

The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
the end is the beginning is the end



Ava Adore

it's you that I adore
you'll always be my whore
you'll be a mother to my child
and child to my heart

we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
without you there aren't reasons left to fight

and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
you'll be a lover in my bed
and a gun to my head

we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffings for the souls I've left to die

drinking mercury to the mystery
of all that you should ever seek to find...in time

in you I see dirty
in you I count stars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god
in you I feel so hungry
in you I crash cars

we must never be apart

drinking mercury to the mystery
of all that you should ever seek to find
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffings for the souls I've left behind... in time

we must never be apart

you'll always be my whore
cause you're the one that I adore
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me

in you I feel so dirty
in you I crash cars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god...god...uh-huh uh-huh

we must never be apart


I know we're just like old friends
we just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are reasons sp unreal
we can't help but feel that something has been lost

But please you know you're just like me
next time I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
lovers out of time
memories unwind

So far I still know who you are
but now I wonder who I was...

Angel, you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
the letters have been sent on

So please, you always were so free]
You'll see, I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
strangers on the street
lovers while we meet

Perfect
you know this has to be
we always we're so free
we promised that we'd be
Perfect


twilight fades
from distant Avalon
the sky's cool torch
on aching autobahn

into the unsettled
we scream into the

you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real

Sheila rides on crashing nightingales
intake eyes and passing vapor trails
brushing brilliance

because it's time to unwind

you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real

lately i just can't seem to believe
discard my friends that change the scenery

it meant the world to hold a bruisen faith
but now it's just a matter of grace

a summer storm graces all of me
highway war, sing silent poetry
and I could bring you, the light
and take you home into the night

you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real
