      Lyrics

      Lonely draw
      Sides grow dimmer
      Spellbound all
      I take the hour
      My love is winter
      My love is lost
      Silent fog
      Let’s pass and wither
      From the cold that draws me flat
      My love is winter
      My love is lost
      I should’ve been wise
      I should’ve been bold
      I could’ve found God
      If I’d have been told that I
      Was no other
      My love is lost
      I should’ve been wise
      I should’ve been bold
      I could’ve found God
      If I’d have been told that I
      Was no other
      My love is lost
      Sacred hold in my mirror
      Were you told there is no rest?
      My love is winter, no
      My love is winter, so
      My love is winter, no
      My love is winter, so

      Lyrics

      I have no patience
      For the sweetest things
      Take their sweet time
      I’m countin’ blessings
      For steppin’ backwards
      Along my many fault lines
      So make it happen
      Just make it so
      I won’t know
      ‘Cause I’ve been taken
      Yes, truly snared
      By your green, green eyes
      It occurs to remind me
      At the end of day
      Be happy, be solitary grace
      But here I go on now
      Admitting realities
      That you can’t fathom nor decode
      So make it happen
      Just make it so
      I won’t know
      Building castles
      I’ll keep draggin’ my bridge
      Ain’t life a bitch
      So simply stated
      You are impossible
      But it’s possible we could get along
      We’ll fill up the dark pools
      With your lunar tides
      And my library shuttling along (?)
      So make it happen
      Just make it so
      I won’t know
      ‘Cause you’re a rainbow
      I’m your pot of gold
      With a blown out soul

      Lyrics

      I propose a truce of light
      A stick of grass upon
      The flowers to take along
      ‘Cause if that light is out
      And our peace hopes are lost
      Reveal your ties unmentioned
      To see you turn your way
      Turn your way
      Turn your way
      Just suppose a new supply
      Wrap your cloak ever so tight around my silence
      You may accuse what follows
      Of empty grass in the breeze
      This isn’t fair, isn’t kind
      Such stillness
      To turn your way
      Turn your way
      Turn your way
      I propose a loss of (?)
      Our tree provides the shade
      Our trust provides the road
      ‘Cause what we make from nothing
      Pays the bills at home
      The laws of this attraction are so bound
      To turn your way
      Turn your way
      Turn your way
      ‘Cause if that light is on
      Know that these hopes of mine
      Reveal ties to me
      To see you turn your way
      Turn your way
      Turn your way

      Lyrics

      This is a song for a son
      This is a song for a sailor
      The son I never had
      This is a song for a kid
      This is a song for a tailor
      Who stitched up my old heart
      Who stitched up my old heart
      This is a song for a dog
      This is a song for a blown-out bird
      The kind that don’t return to the nest
      This is a song for a star
      This is a song for a space invader
      Who flew into the sun
      Never to return
      Never to return
      And I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      I am one of many more
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      This is a song for a son
      This is a song for a sailor
      The best I ever had
      He sailed without a map
      This is a song for that kid
      This is a song for that tailor
      Who stitched up my old heart
      Who stitched up my old heart
      And broke it all apart
      I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      I am one of many more
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      You daughters of the revolution
      Carry back your sons
      Carry them back home
      You daughters of the revolution
      Carry back your sons
      Carry them back home
      And I, I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come

      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

      They poison our sweet mother earth
      Destroy our sacred bodies
      To fill our mouths with junk and…
      They call this knowledge
      But knowing nothing
      Means knowing far, far too much
      They let our children
      Starve in the name of peace
      They march to the beat of
      A killing machine
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
      Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
      La la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la la
      Scars and bars and 51 stars
      In faith and milk and…
      I’m drinking filth and disease
      Oh pretty please, I’m begging freedom
      There’s lives to be blinded,
      Serviced and kinded
      Before we’ve paid
      And then we’ll pay some more
      Do you know the score?
      Cause I’m so fucking bored!
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
      Oh… They’ll pour the salt from your soul
      They’ll sell your wounds as evidence of your hope
      La la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la
      La la la la la la la la
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Life is not a dream when you can’t wake up from the dream you wanted
      Life is not a dream
      Life is not a…
      Life is not a dream
      Life is not a dream

      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?

      Additional Info:

      Also known as Orchid. From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “I realized listening to ‘Orchid’ that it’s a distant commentary on what happened to the bands of the Nineties. The song even has a bit of an homage to Alice in Chains in the harmonies. Alice in Chains is one band that I appreciate so much more now than when we were all in the same competitive streak. I also thought a lot about Kurt Cobain and what we’d all been through as a collective unit and the battle-scarred feeling of that. I wondered about what our contribution was as a generation. I’m close to Courtney Love. I know the negative ramifications of that time. I see what she goes through, and the ramifications on Francis Bean. Everybody can talk about the Kurt on a t-shirt, but they’re still real people . So in a way, that song is a cost assessment.” Billy Corgan

      “We’re great believers in continuing the search musically until the last possible minute looking for something better than what you have, and that song is one that benefited.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      If life is my witness
      Love is my song
      If nothing means no one
      Then blank, I belong
      If fear conquers easy
      I can lead on
      Milk from the flower
      Blood from the dawn
      So here we are
      Upon your stage
      The laughs we shared
      The dreams we saved
      Bleeding the orchid
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      Bleeding the orchid
      Blessed my weakness
      Blessed my wrongs
      As hate forms the sequence
      Of one by one
      As freedoms die easy
      We suffrage the want
      There’s clouds in my shower
      Ghosts in my arms
      Youth is where you are
      Faith some sinner’s child
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      Bleeding the orchid
      Gilded art this silent march past triumph thru alarm
      So thus charmed
      Does this will stand for much?
      But heart’s untouched by heart’s unloved
      Bleeding the orchid
      Here we are
      Upon your stage
      The love we share
      The dreams we’ll save
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid

      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

      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

      Ride off the silverscreen
      Into a moonbeam
      To the alien side
      Catch heck with Jesus
      The stars beneath us
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Cool in your pocket
      You can’t unlock this night
      Cool in your pocket
      You can’t unlock it
      You can’t help but decide it’s alright
      Oh what a beautiful sight you are to me
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Cool in your pocket
      Rocks for your rocket ride
      Cool in your pocket
      Pleasure or prophet
      You can’t stop this night outside
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Side up the revelry
      Roll out the cavalry
      Into the waters we dive
      Shimmers of the cosmos
      Ripple the utmost
      Of the quivering tide
      Locks for your locket
      You can’t unlock his fist
      Rocks for your rocket
      You can’t unlock his shocks
      For your socket eyes that shine
      Oh what a beautiful sight you are to me
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Night, night
      What a beautiful night
      Oh California
      Look what you’ve done
      Look what you’ve done to me
      Oh Chicago
      I’m coming home
      I’m coming home to you

      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

      Right now’s the past

      Rouse me soon

      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

      Disarm you with a smile
      And cut you like you want me to
      Cut that little child
      Inside of me and such a part of you
      Ooh, the years burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my choice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      Disarm you with a smile
      And leave you like they left me here
      To wither in denial
      The bitterness of one who’s left alone
      Ooh, the years burn
      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my voice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you

      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

      I lie, I wait
      I stop, I hesitate
      I am, I breathe
      I meant, I think of me
      Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
      All I have is all you gave to me
      Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
      Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
      Turn away from light
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough
      I taste, I love
      I come, I bleed enough
      I hate, I’m not
      I was, I want too much
      Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
      All I have is all you gave to me
      Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
      Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
      Turn away from light
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch

      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
