      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

      Lyrics

      I’ve faced the fathoms in your deep
      Withstood the suitors quiet siege
      Pulled down the heavens just to please you
      Appease you
      The wind blows, and I know
      I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
      To linger on beyond the beyond
      Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
      You’ll find me
      The coarse tide reflects the sky
      And the night mare rides on
      And the night mare rides on
      With a December black psalm
      And the night mare rides on
      What I fear is lost here
      The wind blows and I know
      All you have to do is run away
      And steal yourself from me
      Become mystery to gaze into
      You’re so cruel in all you do
      But still I believe, I believe
      You
      So may you come with your own knives
      You’ll never take me alive
      With all the force of what is true
      Is there nothing I can do?
      I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
      To linger on beyond the beyond
      Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
      You’ll find me
      And the night mare rides on
      And the night mare rides on
      With a December black psalm
      And the night mare rides on
      I’ve face the fathoms in your deep
      Withstood the suitors quiet siege
      Pulled down the heavens just to please you
      To hold the flower I can’t keep

      Additional Info:

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “This was one of the songs we had earmarked for Roy Thomas Baker to produce. As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true. He’s one of the most hard-working, aware and brilliant people we’ve ever worked with and we couldn’t wait to hear what he did with that song.” Billy Corgan

      “For me that track is all about Roy–the way he produced, that drum sound. Roy doesn’t produce songs; he produces moments. We were constantly trying our best to put a smile on Roy’s face.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Shot down I stood
      Withstood my neighborhood
      I got it wrong
      But I could
      Follow love lest I learn
      It’s light
      To bring the light
      I fought with all my might, with light
      Oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so good and right
      But tonight you’ll never need another sound
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light to me
      Here and gone oh I trust
      You’d spit upon my dust
      And mix my ash with your blood
      A son of god you know you must arrive
      In the light
      Bring the light, let’s bring the light
      Light, oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      It’s yours not mine
      If you just want to survive
      Go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven’s high
      I never felt so real and loved and alive
      No shadows follow me unsung
      In the light, bring the light to me
      A flower song, clear and bright
      Is it wrong, in neon white?
      To insist you are mine
      Standing dumb in the light
      Bring the light
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light!
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so real and right and alive
      Don’t let them steal from you what’s yours by right
      Light, bring the light
      You know there comes a place and time
      You can’t deny
      With every movement shadows cast and align
      Bring the light, bring the light
      Bring the light let’s bring the light
      Light, bring the light

      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

      Fool enough to almost be it
      Cool enough to not quite see it
      Doomed
      Pick your pockets full of sorrow
      And run away with me tomorrow
      June
      We’ll try and ease the pain
      But somehow we’ll feel the same
      Well, no one knows
      Where our secrets go
      I send a heart to all my dearies
      When your life is so, so dreary
      Dream
      I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
      While the harlots of my perils
      Scream
      And I fail
      But when I can, I will
      Try to understand
      That when I can, I will
      Mother weep the years I’m missing
      All our time can’t be given
      Back
      Shut my mouth and strike the demons
      That cursed you and your reasons
      Out of hand and out of season
      Out of love and out of feeling
      So bad
      When I can, I will
      Words defy the plans
      When I can, I will
      Fool enough to almost be it
      And cool enough to not quite see it
      And old enough to always feel this
      Always old, I’ll always feel this
      No more promise no more sorrow
      No longer will I follow
      Can anybody hear me
      I just want to be me
      When I can, I will
      Try to understand
      That when I can, I will

      Lyrics

      Pop tart

      What’s our mission

      Do we know

      But never listen

      For too long

      They held me under

      But I hear

      It’s almost over

      In detroit

      On a memphis train

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of

      The automatic gauze of your memories

      Down in the sleep at the airplane races

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit longer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit colder

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Paperback scrawl your hidden poem

      Written around the dried out flowers

      Here we are still trading places

      To try to hold on

      Pop tart

      Can you envision

      A free world

      Of clear division

      For too long

      They held us under

      But I know

      We’re getting over

      In detroit

      With the nashville tears

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers

      Down in the gaze of solemnity

      Down in the way you held together

      To try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit closer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit older

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      And no one should deny

      We try to hold on

      To the pulse of a feedback current

      Into the flow of the cryptic movement

      Slapback kills the ancient remnants

      That try to hold on

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      Alive

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      Pop tart

      You never listen

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Stop start

      What’s our mission

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Aaaah

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That was one of the original riffs that I brought from Chicago when we went to Scottsdale. The problem with a song like that is you’ve got this great riff and then that’s all you’ve got. The riff comes in two minutes. Then you take weeks out of your life being a slave to that riff. We really have a love-hate relationship with the riff songs.” Billy Corgan “The real problem is after that great riff, you need another great riff.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      C’mon let’s go

      I’ll find you waiting there

      Beyond their violence dared

      A light around your soul

      You could be my friend

      Lovely and different

      Crushing up the stars above us

      A guarantee to spoil our rot

      Tears were once my only way back home

      Someone speaks and instantly I’m cold

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Beyond the great unknown

      Beyond their punched-up skulls

      To die upon this road

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Anesthetized I’m hollow

      Playing to the dark back row

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      C’mon let’s go

      Assimilate, it’s all been staged

      I’ve made mistakes, they penetrate

      They’re gonna take, it’s all the same

      They cannot wait, their love spells hate

      I wanna love

      I wanna love

      I’m pushing back

      I’m serpentine

      I’m pushing back

      Lord save me

      With need

      Lord walk me home

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon, c’mon let’s go

      Tears were once my only way back home

      Someone weeps and instantly I’m thrown

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      C’mon let’s go

      Lyrics

      Is it wrong to say

      I’m lost in your embrace

      Is it wrong to say so?

      Within a dream I had, some vista vast

      Meant for the poor of soul

      Struck from the firstborn

      Leapt from a ray of hope

      Into a body I once knew

      Built a mere kingdom of self abuse

      Hitched to some rainbow

      Once more, it’s always yours

      Once more

      The wait hurts worse than the blows

      Words buy

      New life

      Dust clears

      No scars

      Burnt but

      Bright eyed

      The sun’s out

      A still night stirs

      The wait hurts worse than the blows

      Is it wrong to say

      There’s god and there’s faith

      Is it wrong to say so?

      Withstood a thought so sad, I had to laugh

      Cut from some polished bone

      Crawled out of broken homes

      Slipped on the afterglow

      Into a worry and a curse

      Stole from the bible chapter and verse

      Stitched to an old sail

      Once more, it’s always yours

      Once more

      The wait hurts worse than the blows

      Lyrics

      I know

      We’re just like old friends

      We just can’t pretend

      That lovers make amends

      We are

      Reasons so 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

      But the letters have been sent on

      So please

      You always were so free

      You’ll see

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers when we meet

      Strangers on the street

      Lovers while we sleep

      Perfect

      You know this has to be

      We always were so free

      We promised that we’d be

      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)

      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

      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

      It’s you that I adore
      You will always be my whore
      You’ll be a mother to my child
      And a 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 find
      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 coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever leave behind
      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 coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
      In time
      We must never be apart
      And 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
      We must never be apart

      Lyrics

      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you drown
      You’ve traveled very far
      Just to see you I’ll come around
      When I’m down
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, “scream”)
      You traveled very far
      You traveled far, like a star
      And you are
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      Is it something someone said?
      Was it something someone said?
      Yesterday the sky was you
      And I still feel the same
      Nothing left for me to do
      And I still feel the same
      I wish, I wish I could fly
      I wish, I wish I could lie
      I will, I will try
      I will, I will
      Goodbye

      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

      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
