      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

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “Billy bought this guitar from this guy from Paris (James Trussart) who makes steel guitars and he brought a couple examples of his work to our rehearsal space. Billy grabbed one and plugged in into his amp and immediately started playing the riff from ‘Tarantula’ and the song was written pretty much on the spot.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That’s our nod to the Scorpions, and UFO--a loving nod to the hard rock bands of that era.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I don’t want to fight

      Every single night

      Everything I want is in your eyes

      You and me go back

      To places I dont know to care

      The spoils of all I got were left for scraps

      Don’t let me say this

      But you’re no worse than me

      It’s crazy

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the real

      They feel we have enough

      We are the real

      ‘Cause someone gave us up

      I want to be there when you’re happy

      I want to love you when you’re sad

      Cant stand the morning rain?

      Get out i’ll take your place then

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Then close your eyes you’ll see

      The angel dust

      I dont want to be

      Anything believed

      A million watts of sound can’t compare

      Come along you’ll see the world

      The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls

      The current starts to flow and then you’re on

      Oh it’s white hot soul they want

      To sing for

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the ruin

      Of every living soul

      We are surreal

      Cause someone gave us up

      Don’t break the oath

      I want to love you when you’re happy

      Don’t break this oath

      I want to be there when youre sad

      Freeze-frame the pouring rain

      We are the real

      As real as any ghost

      So easy now

      We are the real

      In ever living soul

      Oh dont they know?

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Can’t stand the morning rain?

      Oh get out i’ll take your place again

      I dont want to be alone

      I dont want to be alone at all

      If it’s a white hot soul they want

      Then a black heart they’ll get

      Lyrics

      You and me

      Meant to be

      Immutable

      Impossible

      It’s destiny

      Pure lunacy

      Incalculable

      Inseparable

      And for the last time

      You’re everything that I want and asked for

      You’re all that I dream

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      Protected and the lover of

      A pure soul

      And beautiful

      You

      Don’t understand

      Don’t feel me now

      I will breath

      For the both of us

      Travel the world

      Traverse the skies

      Your home is here

      Within my heart

      And for the first time

      I feel as though I am reborn in my mind

      Recast as child and mystic sage

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      For the first time

      I’m telling how much I need and bleed for

      Your every move and waking sound in my time

      I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart

      And your mind

      You’re mine forever now

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Lyrics

      Faith lies in
      The ways of sin
      I chased the charmed
      But I don’t want them anymore
      And in their eyes I was alive
      A fool’s disguise
      Take me away from you
      Shame my tongue
      Fat with promise all along
      But when I woke up from that sleep
      I was happier than I’d ever been
      When you decide
      That your life is a prize
      Renew and revive
      It’s alright honey
      It’s alright, yeah
      Happiness will make you wonder
      Will I feel OK?
      It scares the disenchanted
      Far away
      Yeah I want something new
      But what am I supposed to do about you
      Yeah I love you, it’s true
      Life’s a bummer
      When you’re a hummer
      Life’s a drag
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Do you feel
      Love is real?

      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

      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

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That’s a sexy song made by two men living in a house alone together for four or five months in Scottsdale. There needed to be some sexiness somewhere.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That song was another one that I brought to Arizona with me. And right away it sounded like ‘95 Pumpkins, like it could have been right off of the Mellon Collie record. I feel sorry for Jimmy because he has to hear me complain about such things. And we went back to what Flood taught us and tried the song some other ways. One day we just changed the beat, and it just made the song.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      They say that life ain’t easy

      They’ll say your life’s a crime

      Destroy up all good reason

      How I’m alive

      They’ll say that nothing matters

      Not even your will to survive

      Of course I love you baby

      ‘Cause I’m alive

      Yes, I’m alive

      Whenever I call you out

      Whenever I draw you round

      Whenever is here and now

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      They’ll say you’ll lose your nerve soon

      To claim identity

      Disgrace our sacred promise

      With no belief

      Oh, how I believe in you

      That’s the way my love is, for you

      That’s the way my love is, for you!

      I feel a coming age now

      I feel a dawn in me

      A certain sun keeps rising

      On my belief in you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way i care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      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

      Little by little the night turns around
      Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
      Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
      Under the eaves the swallow is resting
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      Over the mountain watching the watcher
      Breaking the darkness
      Waking the grapevine
      One inch of love is one inch of shadow
      Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
      Witness the man who raves at the wall
      Making the shape of his questions to Heaven
      Whether the sun will fall in the evening
      Will he remember the lesson of giving?
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “It started off as this weird little shuffle thing. We were arguing back and forth in November of ‘05 whether we should have a shuffle on the record. Billy wanted a shuffle. So it became a search for a new way to do a shuffle. We were also listening to Fela, all these 14-minute Nigerian jams and watching documentaries about him. So we went down this road of seeing how power can come from repetition.” Jimmy Chamberlin “In Pumpkins logic, if you’re going to make people wait for six minutes for the payoff, the money shot better be good. Ultimately, this became the musical statement of the album. The drum take is one of Jimmy’s crowning achievements. It’s worth the price of admission. Lyrically, the song reflects the decision I made when we were in Scottsdale to stop watching all network or cable news. I noticed the effect that had on me–I stopped being afraid. In general, I’m not afraid of getting on the stage in front of 60,000 people, so why should I be afraid of a plane crashing into my house? I was trying to wrap my head around the way we’re being force-fed a level of paranoia. It’s a personal reflection on what it all means. The ‘revolution’ in the lyrics isn’t the revolution of picking up a gun. That’s never worked, and it never will work. Jesus was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      Tired eyes

      Closed for days

      There’s no regret

      ‘Cause there’s no place

      I don’t know

      What I believe

      But if I feel safe

      What do I need

      A home

      A home

      A home

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      Dulcet tongues

      Whisper fast

      The future yearns

      Right now’s the past

      Rouse me soon

      The end draws nigh

      Who’s side are you on?

      Your blood you cannot buy

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to you

      Well I

      I feel alright

      So tonight

      I got to ask you why

      Why deny it

      It’s no surprise

      I’ve got to survive

      Freedom shines the light ahead

      I’ll lead the last charge to bed

      I said my last rights

      I don’t have to run scared no more

      Fight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      At the light

      At the light

      Do you wanna watch me die

      Let me be something good

      Let me prove something real like I should

      Let me embrace every single living thing

      Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

      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

      Freak out

      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?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
