      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

      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

      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: “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!

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      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

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “We were about to break for Christmas at the end of ‘05, and it was sort of the last day at school, musically. We were about to pack up and I said, ‘Let’s try to write one more song,’ and Jimmy said ‘Okay.’ So that song comes from that little bit of extra effort. I’ve heard Dylan talk about writing songs like being a gamble and a hot streak. Once you’re on the roll, you have to keep going.” Billy Corgan “We always say it’s the extra ten percent that makes a hundred percent difference in what we do. And that song is one of my favorites.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      All hands on deck

      Setting sail to get wrecked off course

      You make what you want of me

      I will keep you anyway

      Let’s fill these hours and kill desire

      Let’s fill these hours and kill desire

      I’m in touch with you

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      Every turn is torture thought

      Every kicking of the drum

      I’ve seen the film

      I know the place

      I’m never lost

      There’s just one way across

      I’m never lost

      Headlights shoot north

      The ends of earth off course

      Of course

      If you think just right

      If you’ll love you’ll find

      Certain truths left behind

      All this is that once forgot

      A closing down of the gate

      But oh these hours

      I lost my place

      I’m never lost

      There’s just one way

      There’s no disgrace in failing me

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      I’m in touch with you

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      Lyrics

      Unleash the armageddon
      So all the children go to heaven
      I sit by quiet still
      With their pictures on my eyes
      You’ll draw the guns you’re given
      Write down the words as written
      And never disturb the presence
      Of resurrection crutch
      And it’s about time
      It’s about drawing near
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Descend the darkened stairways
      Make hate with plastic playmates
      And fire out remaining traces
      Of your self esteem
      Mainline the deepest secrets
      Lick clean the dirty fingers
      I am a stranger to you
      As you are to yourself
      And it’s about time
      It’s about fear
      Blue skies bring tears
      Don’t you want me (don’t want you)
      As I awake the city sight
      We’ll watch the seasons die
      Blue skies bring tears
      Take me inside your body
      Blue skies bring tears
      Cover me with your soul
      Blue skies bring tears
      To the darkest recess
      Blue skies bring tears
      Is where I wish to go
      Blue skies bring tears
      You are the sweetest flower
      Blue skies bring tears
      That I have ever devoured
      Blue skies bring tears
      I ask for nothing given
      Blue skies bring tears
      For nothing in return
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears

      Lyrics

      Twilight fades through blistered avalon

      The sky’s cruel torch on aching autobahn

      Into the uncertain divine

      We scream into the last divide

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Sheila rides on crashing nightingale

      Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails

      With blushing brilliance alive

      Because it’s time to arrive

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Lately I just can’t seem to believe

      Discard my friends to change the scenery

      It meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      But now it’s just a matter of grace

      A summer storm graces all of me

      Highway warm sing silent poetry

      I could bring you the light

      And take you home into the night

      You make me real / lately I just can’t seem to believe

      You make me real / discard my friends to change the scenery

      Strong as I feel / it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      You make me real / but now it’s just a matter of grace

      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

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

      Lyrics

      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

      Lyrics

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

      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.)

      (Unknown: thanks dude.)

      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: “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

      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

      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)

      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

      All around

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel 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

      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

      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)
