      Lyrics

      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

      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

      In the resolute urgency of now

      And if you believe there’s not a 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

      Lyrics

      Sleep will not come to this tired body now

      Peace will not come to this lonely heart

      There are some things I’ll live without

      But I want you to know that I need you right now

      I need you tonite

      I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves

      Cause I’ll always miss her wherever she goes

      And I’ll always need her more than she could ever need me

      I need someone to ease my mind

      But sometimes a someone is so hard to find

      And I’ll do anything to keep her here tonite

      And I’ll say anything to make her feel alright

      And I’ll be anything to keep her here tonite

      Cause I want you to stay, with me

      I need you tonite

      She comes to me like an angel out of time

      As I play the part of a saint on my knees

      There are some things I’ll live without

      But I want you to know that I need you right now

      Suffer my desire

      Suffer my desire

      Suffer my desire for you

      Lyrics

      Speak to me in a language I can hear
      Humour me before I have to go
      Deep in thought I forgive everyone
      As the cluttered streets greet me once again
      I know I can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
      Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
      So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
      The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
      At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
      Steeple guide me to my heart and home
      The sun is out and up and down again
      I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
      Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
      And you can make it last, forever you
      You can make it last, forever you
      And for a moment I lose myself
      Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
      I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
      But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
      Mysteries not ready to reveal
      Sympathies I’m ready to return
      I’ll make the effort, love can last forever
      Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
      Tomorrow’s just an excuse
      And you can make it last, forever you
      You can make it last, forever you

      Lyrics

      Lily, my one and only
      I can hardly wait till I see her
      Silly, I know I’m silly
      Cause I’m hanging in this tree
      In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
      And thru her window shade
      I watch her shadow move
      I wonder if she…….?
      Lily, my one and only
      Love is in my heart and in your eyes
      Will she or won’t she want him
      No one knows for sure
      But an officer is knocking at my door
      And thru her window shade
      I watch her shadow move
      I wonder if she could only see me?
      And when I’m with her I feel fine
      If I could kiss her I wouldn’t mind the time it took to find
      My lily, my one and only
      I can hardly wait till I see her
      Oh lily, I know you love me
      Cause as they’re draggin’ me away
      I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)

      Lyrics

      Take me down, to the underground

      Won’t you take me down, to the underground

      Why oh why, there is no light

      And if I can’t sleep, can you hold my life

      And all I see is you

      Take my hand, I lost where I began

      In my heart I know all of my faults

      Will you help me understand

      And I believe in you

      You’re the other half of me

      Soothe and heal…

      When you sleep, when you dream,

      I’ll be there if you need me, whenever I hear you sing…

      There is a sun, it’ll come, the sun, I hear them call me down

      I held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun

      And you’re all I see…

      And trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side

      And you’re all I see, and you’re all I’ll need

      There’s a love that god puts in your heart

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known

      Lyrics

      Beautiful, you’re beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
      Wonderful, you’re wonderful, as wonderful as they come
      And I can’t help but feel attached
      To the feelings I can’t even match
      With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you
      Beautiful, you’re beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
      Wonderful, it’s wonderful, to know that you’re just like I
      And I’m sure you know me well, as I’m sure you don’t
      But you just can’t tell
      Who you love and who you won’t
      And I love you, as you love me
      So let the clouds roll by your face
      We’ll let the world spin on to another place
      We’ll climb the tallest tree above it all
      To look down on you and me and them
      And I’m sure you know me well, as I’m sure you don’t
      But you just can’t tell, who you’ll love and who you won’t
      Don’t let your life wrap up around you
      Don’t forget to call, whenever
      I’ll be here just waiting for you
      I’ll be under your stars forever
      Neither here nor there just right beside you
      I’ll be under the stairs forever
      Neither here nor there just right beside you

      Lyrics

      My reflection, dirty mirror

      There’s no connection to myself

      I’m your lover, I’m your zero

      I’m the face in your dreams of glass

      So save your prayers

      For when we’re really gonna need ’em

      Throw out your cares and fly

      Wanna go for a ride?

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      Cause she’s the one for me

      Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

      And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

      Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness

      Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

      The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

      I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship

      I never let on that I was down

      You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore

      You blame yourself for wanting more

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      She’s the one for me

      She’s my one and only

      Lyrics

      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
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am 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
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      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
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      Lyrics

      As far as you take me, that’s where I believe

      The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves

      On a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me

      As all the thought police, are closing in for sleep

      The dilly dally, of my bright lit stay

      The steam of my misfortunes

      Has given me the power to be afraid

      And in my mind I’m everyone

      And in my mind

      Without a care in this whole world

      Without a care in this life

      It’s what you take that makes it right

      Porcelina of the oceans blue

      In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts

      The light of all that’s good, the light of all that’s true

      To the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned

      With gods and their creations

      With filth and disease

      Porcelina, she waits for me there

      With seashell hissing lullabyes

      And whispers fathomed deep inside my own

      Hidden thoughts and alibis

      My secret thoughts come alive

      Without a care in this whole world

      Without a care in this life

      It’s what you take that makes it right

      And in my mind I’m everyone

      In my mind I’m everyone of you

      You make it right

      It’s all allright

      You make it right

      Porcelina of the oceans blue

      Additional Info: The studiotrack samples the rocket launcher explosion from an id Software's game called Doom. This sound effect points to the relationship between Doom and the Smashing Pumpkins in the "SPISPOPD" (an abbreviation for Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris) joke, dating from December 1993. The Doom explosion, mentioned in the liner notes of MCIS, can be heard at the following times: 1:20 / 1:55 / 2:29 / 3:01 / 3:44.

      Lyrics

      Candy cane walks down

      To build a bonfire, to break my fall

      My baby, my sweet thing

      Just maybe we could lose ourselves this time

      King of the horseflies, dark prince of death

      His tragic forces are heaven sent

      In sweet things, in a lovers breath

      In knowing this was meant to be the last

      A go-go-kids, a go-go-style

      A suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile

      As always, in young need

      A veiled promise to never die

      On dead highways, her black beauties roam

      For june angels, so far from home

      For a love lost, a faded picture

      To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies

      So get on the bomb

      Lyrics

      Cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need
      Come into my life forever
      The crumbled cities stand as known
      Of the sights you have been shown
      Of the hurt you call your own
      Love is suicide
      The empty bodies stand at rest
      Casualties of their own flesh
      Afflicted by their dispossession
      But no bodies ever knew
      Nobody’s
      No bodies felt like you
      Nobody’s
      Love is suicide
      Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
      You can’t help deny forever
      The tragedies reside in you
      The secret sights hide in you
      The lonely nights divide you in two
      All my blisters now revealed
      In the darkness of my dreams
      In the spaces in between us
      But no bodies ever knew
      Nobody’s
      No bodies felt like you
      Nobody’s
      Love is suicide

      Freak out
      And give in
      Doesn’t matter what you believe in
      Stay cool
      And be somebody’s fool this year
      ‘Cause they know
      Who is righteous, What is bold
      So I’m told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Hipsters unite
      Come align for the big fight to rock for you
      But beware
      All those angels with their wings glued on
      ‘Cause deep down
      We are frightened and we’re scared
      If you don’t stare
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Tell me all of your secrets
      Cannot help but believe this is true
      Tell me all of your secrets
      I know, I know, I know,
      Should have listened when I was told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there is some money
      Who wants that honey?

      Lyrics

      Shakedown 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
      With the headlights pointed at the dawn
      We were 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 a thousand guilts
      And poured cement
      Lamented 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 the ghouls
      No apologies ever need be made
      I know you better than you fake it
      To see that we 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
      The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
      As you can see there’s no one around

      Lyrics

      Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight
      May it hold you through the winter of a long night
      And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
      Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
      Cause it’s hard luck, when no one understands your love
      It’s unsung, and I say
      Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
      Goodnight, always, to all that’s in your heart
      Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
      Head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a
      Night light, be careful not to let the bedbugs
      Sleep tight nestled in your covers
      The sun shines but I don’t
      A silver rain will wash away
      And you can tell, it’s just as well
      And you can tell, it’s just as well
      Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
      Goodnight, always to all that’s pure that’s in your heart

      Lyrics

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      And once again, you’ll pretend to know me well, my friends

      And once again, I’ll pretend to know the way

      Thru the empty space

      Thru the secret places of the heart

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own to see the ways

      That I can’t help the days, you will make it home o.k

      I know you can, and you can

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      And once again, you’ll pretend to know that

      There’s an end, that there’s an end to this begin

      It will help you sleep at night

      It will make it seem that right is always right

      Alright?

      We only come out at night
