      Lyrics

      Mama, you’re on my mind
      A stitch upon my coda
      Play on the world’s grand design
      I think you know
      I think you’re sure that you know that
      Butterflies don’t get old
      And I don’t get so young anymore
      What a shame
      The big ideas
      And lost ideals, it’s a show
      I must appear in control
      Mama
      Mama
      The show at all
      They’re burning books outside of
      What was it that you said?
      And to the walls
      Let the spirit gather up and
      Set us a flame for
      Year to year, there’s no one here but us
      What I’m ask
      The ears to the ground and the fingers on the pulse of the pain
      Oh it’s worse than change
      Oh what do they want with us
      Oh mama
      Mama
      What is it that they want with us and all of our abuse
      Oh what’s the use to protect
      Mama, is only you
      You’re a dancer from the mirrors of
      Lie and with restraint
      This quiet warmth
      I’ve got my faith restored by the sway of the trees
      That sway in time to one more rhyme of my curse
      But what it’s worth
      I count you out and still you count me in
      To answer your final bell
      Mama
      Mama
      But why do they care about us
      Mama
      Mama
      They knock and knock
      But I don’t answer the door
      Mama
      Mama
      Cuz I’m bored and we’re not alone

      Lyrics

      What is this writing in between us?
      What is the question posed?
      Where is this violence i sense creeping?
      What is your secret code?
      I wanna know!
      Why are the pipers calling towards us?
      Where are the makeshifts shown?
      Why are you smiling daggers at me?
      Do you know it’s far too cold…
      It’s the song I sing.
      It’s the song I sing.
      I’m forming the tones
      Smokerings around the square,
      I’m telling the throne
      There is a place you’ll explode
      And I’m getting close…
      To an answer,
      To my questions
      To myself
      Notions are wrong,
      What does a narcisist (sting?) you follow
      When I’m laying low
      Where must the cabins reap for nothing?
      And must the depths of hell be neatly sewn?
      I have to know…
      Why are the crows crowing boldly?
      I found there is a link in hell,
      While the young men know not arising
      What is the unknown key to your lost soul?
      I got to know…
      I race uptown,
      Bleeding like some kind of bitch,
      I’m down on my knees
      Digging a new kinda ditch,
      Grace don’t fit in words,
      But no answers to my question…
      It’s a song I sing,
      It’s a song I sing,
      Float to town…
      (one two three),
      I follow the town to let me common there (?)
      The last nonsense(?) from your face,
      A total witch
      Must float upstream
      While I soak in like the sweet dream,
      What is this blood you drink like wine for?
      Are you not still breaking in?
      What does the face of death you cut say
      When it comes to tuck you in?
      It’s the song I sing…
      It’s the song I sing,
      It’s the song I sing,
      Fighting for the spoils of madness
      What are these sores you lick
      That are ice cream?
      You had the edge,
      You had the past,
      For an instance there,
      Bracing for…
      It’s the song I sing,
      It’s the song I sing
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,
      I don’t want this song,
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,
      I don’t want this song,
      It’s the song I sing

      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

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

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “I originally wanted this song to sound sort of as if it were from that weird period from 1972-1974 when bands started going metal like Judas Priest but a lot of it still sounded poppy like the Sweet. I wanted ‘Starz’ to sound like that, but of course then Roy blew it up into some other thing. Yes, I am aware that there was a band Starz back then. Now I’m going to have to buy their stuff.” Billy Corgan “That’s Roy being Roy--as only he can.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Born of love and cast in light

      Don’t you know we cannot die

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      The stars above, stars of grace

      Shining down what’s left of face

      You hurt so bad

      This knowing, this fallacy

      I want so much

      To follow as I lead

      For love I keep

      Silent I weep

      Dead suns rule dead air

      But heaven is everywhere

      Stars…

      Torn from god and flung towards night

      Don’t you want what I can’t fight

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      The stars that shine, stars that bleed

      Silver seeking destiny

      So follow please

      This hurts so much

      This knowing carries me

      We want so bad

      We forget we are free

      Spirit smile on

      Deep black diamond

      So rise the lost toys

      Island of white noise

      And purple haze

      We are starz

      We are starz

      We are starz

      What hurts so much

      Is knowing we are free!

      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

      To the center of the earth
      Or anywhere god decides
      Full of fever pulling forth
      We hear our call as all
      And to the center of the earth
      As if written in
      And dna is reaching out
      To your frequency
      I want to live
      And don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      All in prayer
      Prayer in all
      All are scared
      Scared of all
      Black rooms are calling
      To men in leather coats
      White labs are cooking
      Up the silver ghost
      The glass migrates under
      Her translucent skin
      And all the spiders wonder
      What we’ve got us in
      All is you
      You are all
      All with you
      You in all
      I want to live
      I don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      So, it’s all very obtuse
      Because it’s all like, like, I don’t know
      So, like, I started thinking
      That everything I operate on
      Is based on what I believe god was telling me to do
      God could be my intuition or whatever
      But I always assume
      I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of god
      Then I started thinking
      What if I’m insane
      So I’m operating on the premise
      That I’m hearing the voice of god
      Or what I perceive to be god speaking to me
      Or through me
      But maybe I’m completely in…
      So all my…
      Demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
      My, my..
      Thinking that my life has importance
      My, my, my thought of it
      And the fact that I believe that I’m following my intuition
      Which in and of itself may be completely false
      So then I started freaking out thinking…
      Of itself may be completely false
      And again this creature that believes that he’s acting upon
      Heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he’s totally rampant
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      So beats the final coda
      Of our vinyl storm
      One more cherry cola
      To lift up her dead arms
      A dream of soft focus sunsets
      Filters through the din
      We are losing contact
      As she dials it in
      She can hear glass calling
      Or is it someone that looks like him
      She eyes TV reflection
      And nods a knowing look
      She says it doesn’t matter
      She’d never liked her looks
      I have seen a thousand fractures
      I have seen everything
      Cause knowing is its own answer
      Love something in a book
      There’s not much left to ponder
      Not much left to cook
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders, oh

      Lyrics

      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past wastelands of shattered souls
      Warm by my firelight
      I peer into the darkness alone
      As the Indian Summer of my remembrance
      Settles on my bones
      Cracked and weary, I ask for direction home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      Crossroads outside of town
      The heartbroken faces shine
      The city lights so far and dull
      Turning left I know it’s time
      With an urgent wind upon my rolling heals
      To carry me along
      My face downcast, I turn to ruins past and home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past terrors and broken homes
      Wipe the sleep from under your eyes
      Of riverbanks and catacombs
      Sleep into the bee and the sea
      I was to live this life alone
      Lay down Caligula
      Cry out, I know it’s time
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want

      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

      It’s in blood

      I suppose

      Breaking jars

      I’m no good

      As the prodigal son

      And I know that you’re mesmerized

      You had a vision, made these laws

      And sanitized, are we above desires

      I miss him so

      You are so fucked

      It has begun

      Revolution crawls

      All over you

      I was listening

      You light up the sky

      And scrape out your skull

      Your lovely face

      Will never be claimed thrice

      And we’re so unlikely to

      Upon my wrists I bear the cross

      My losses mount as I climb across the home

      Of my own soul

      I’ll claim my prize

      I don’t exist

      I am divine

      A ghost with eyes

      (Billy: yeah, vietnam.)

      (James: you headin’ to vietnam?)

      (Unknown: yes, I need to be at the co-op.)

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “I had this mellow guitar riff that was very simple--almost a ballad-- and we kept messing around with it. And one day, we thought, ‘What if we played it really loud.’ And that was it. Suddenly it transformed into this beastly thing.” Billy Corgan

      “We’ve learned a lot of lessons over the years about not taking songs at face value when they emerge. I think that’s something Flood taught us along the way. ‘Doomsday Clock’ started off almost a folk calypso number and it turned into this . . . Apocalypso. We’re believers that a good song is a good song whether it’s played on an electric guitar or a zither.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Is everyone afraid?
      Is everyone ashamed?
      They’re running towards their holes, to find out
      Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
      A message to our friends to get out
      There’s wages on this fear
      Oh so clear
      Depends on what you’ll pay to hear
      They’re bound to kill us all
      In whitewashed halls
      Their jackals lick their paws
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      Not broken
      I love life every day
      In each and every way
      Kafka would be proud, to find out
      I’m certain of the end
      It’s the means that has me spooked
      It takes an unknown truth to get out
      I’m guessing I’m born free, silly me
      I was meant to beg from my knees
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days when will they ever stop?
      We gotta dig in, gas masks on
      Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
      If this is living?
      Sakes alive!
      Well then they can’t win
      No one survives
      Is everyone afraid?
      You should be ashamed
      Apocalyptic screams
      Mean nothing to the dead
      Kissing that ‘ol sun
      To know all there is
      Come on, last call
      You should want it all
      Ah, it’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This ticking in my heart
      Is everyone afraid?

      Additional Info:

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “In the beginning, before it went disco, that one was very Morricone and kinda bad.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      “I started the song on an acoustic guitar, and I just loved something about hearing the words ‘God and Country’ coming out of my mouth because I’m just not that patriotic. It was like our ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.’ So I have this cheap synthesizer that is our go-to instrument when we don’t know what to do, and I started playing the chords and pushing different buttons and ultimately settled on a dance rhythm. What makes the song even more bizarre is that you have a sort of political message to a disco beat--thanks to Roy who mixed it like an old Donna Summer dance track. I told him the bass was just too loud and he gave me a face like I was taking away his toy. Of course, Roy was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I want to live for god and country
      I want to give for god and country
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for what you’ve done
      I can’t help what I divide in you
      For god and country I’ll fight
      For god and country I’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms for god and country
      I want to live where no one’s watching my way home
      I want to give until I’m bursting with unknown
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for everyone
      I can’t help what I destroy in you
      Well who needs this anymore?
      C’mon make it so
      That’s when they build their cross of death
      You won’t build your own
      It’s time to wake up!
      It’s time to wake up for good
      I can’t help you though I should
      For god and country we’ll fight
      For god and country we’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms For god and country
      You can’t deny god and country
      We’re fighting for our lives
      You can’t deny god and country
      Our souls are so aligned
      In this time of god and country
      We’ll take you on our side
      It’s alright
      My soul is so alive
      With god and night
      With god and country
      My soul is so alive

      Lyrics

      This is the song I’ve been singing my whole life

      I’ve been waiting like a knife

      To cut open your heart

      And bleed my soul to you

      I did it all for you

      You and you and you and you

      This is the sound I’ve been making my whole life

      I’ve been waiting for this night

      To clear up all the talk

      Although I’m selfish to a fault

      Is it selfish, it’s you I want

      You, I did it all for you

      This love will stand as long as you

      There’s really no excuse

      I did it all for you

      These are the tears I’ve been crying my whole life

      Like an ocean of desire

      I’m reaching through the noise

      Across the dusk of time

      Within the lilting lights

      I am singing out to you

      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

      And if I fall into you all

      Will my rain cease and dissolve

      Some come to harm, others to grace

      So let my friends fly under these wings

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      We’re giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up to the earth

      Giving it up from our room

      Know when there’s nowhere to run

      Know when there’s not much to lose

      Sometimes it seems so long

      Since you had a chance to refuse

      We built a fire

      Winterlong

      Transform to iron

      Winterlong

      I was the first one

      I was the last one to be strong

      And if I fall into you all

      Will the silence shatter and stall

      Some feel movement, others stand still

      So let the moment become my will

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      We’re giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up to the earth

      Giving it up from our rooms

      Know when there’s nowhere to run

      Know when there’s not much to lose

      So why does it take so long

      To find out who is who

      We built a fire

      Winterlong

      Transform to iron

      Winterlong

      I was the first one

      I was the last one to be strong

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      Giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up the the earth

      Giving it up from your room

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      Giving it up to the moon

      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

      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

      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

      What will they do

      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

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

      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

      Should I know all we’re missing

      What’s to stop what they’re missing

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      Anyone can hold a promise

      Not everyone can feel honored

      To be in love, to feel love

      All around

      Turn me on, hear me speak

      Let me be what I need

      You’re enough for me

      Many times while you sleep

      I’m dreaming of what to keep

      To know your wish, hold it true

      To slay the things that trouble you

      Turn me on, out of reach

      Listen here, feel me

      Just believe, just believe

      You’ll see

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      Hold the truth if you want it

      If you don’t, I won’t flaunt it

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      When you’re young you can promise

      Anything that you wanted

      To be in love, to feel love all around

      Turn me on, let me speak

      From my heart, I receive

      Plain happiness, just happiness

      You and me

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel love

      All around

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel love

      Around

      I know your wish, I hold it true

      (Feel love around)

      To hide the things that trouble you

      (Feel love around)

      Turn me on out of reach

      (Feel love around)

      Let me speak all my peace

      (Feel love around)

      Just believe what you keep

      (Feel love around)

      You’ll never need to hurry me

      (Feel love around)

      All around

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel love

      All around

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      Lyrics

      I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone

      To lie here and die among the sorrows

      Adrift among the days

      For everything I ever said

      And everything I’ve ever done is gone and dead

      As all things must surely have to end

      And great loves will one day have to part

      I know that I am meant for this world

      My life has been extraordinary

      Blessed and cursed and won

      Time heals but I’m forever broken

      By and by the way…

      Have you ever heard the words

      I’m singing in these song?

      It’s for the girl I’ve loved all along

      Can a taste of love be so wrong

      As all things must surely have to end

      And great loves will one day have to part

      I know that I am meant for this world

      And in my mind as I was floating

      Far above the clouds

      Some children laughed I’d fall for certain

      For thinking that I’d last forever

      But I knew exactly where I was

      And I knew the meaning of it all

      And I knew the the distance to the sun

      And I knew the echo that is love

      And I knew the secrets in your spires

      And I knew the emptiness of youth

      And I knew the solitude of heart

      And I knew the murmurs of the soul

      And the world is drawn into your hands

      And the world is etched upon your heart

      And the world so hard to understand

      Is world you can’t live without

      And I knew the silence of the world

      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
