- 2 . Blue Skies Bring Tears
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
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears

Blue skies bring tears - 3 . In My Body
Lyrics
Hold silent
You were my violence stuck
In my life
Just for the moment
And let me under you
So you can die
I was alive
I was alive
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream
June’s offcast
Left hiding, I form the screams
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Haunting my torment
Right through my clothes
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
I was alive
I was alive
In my body
You’ll never find me
You’ll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream
In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

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

- 5 . Today
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

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 - 7 . Lucky 13
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

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

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

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

Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I’ll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn’t save
Always knew I couldn’t save you

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? - 13 . That’s The Way

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

Additional Info:
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

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

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

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

Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I’ll never be
And on, and on
I torch my soul to show
The world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies
A crown of horns
An image formed deformed
The mark I’ve borne
A mark of scorn to you
Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out, the stars invite
I think I’ll leave tonight
So soon I’ll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what’s coming down
Do you know I couldn’t stay free?
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free free
Free of those voices inside me
I shall be free
I shall be free - 26 . To Sheila

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
I hear your winter
I hear you rain
I’ve failed your summer ways
And I feel no pain
I hear what you want
And I feel that way
I hear what you want
And I feel that way
I hear you fade away
And I hear you crawl
I gave my life away
And I feel no pain
And I feel no pain
And I feel no pain
And I feel your pain
And she was my lover so sweet
And she was my angel
And what I’ve recovered of me
I put into a box underneath my bed
When you lie in your bed
And you lie to yourself
When you lie in your bed
And you lie to yourself
Lie
Lie
Bang bang you’re dead hole in your head
Bang bang you’re dead hole in your head
Bang bang you’re dead hole in your head
Bang bang you’re dead hole in your head
I hear what you want
And I feel that way
I hear what you want
And I feel that way
(Alright, this take, don’t give a fuck.) - 28 . Fuck You

I’m never coming back
I’m never giving in
I’ll never be the shine in your spit
I disconnect the act
I disconnect the dots
I disconnect the me in me
And you’re mistaken, it’s you that’s faking
Living and breathing and dying too
This message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool
You can’t bring me back, you can’t bring me back
Cause I give it all back to you
Thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks
Wreak their havoc upon this world
The disenchanted, the romantics,
The body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole
Destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart
And you, you make me so I need to disconnect
And you make it so real
I don’t need you love to disconnect
To runaround kids in get-go cars
With Vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
Galaxies full of nobodies
Giving us the farewell runarounds
I took a virgin Mary ax to his sweet baby Jane,
Lost my innocence to a no good girl,
Scratch my face with anvil hands,
And coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
And I give it all back to you
No way, I don’t need it, I don’t need your love to disconnect
And you make it, so real, I don’t need your love to disconnect
No way to disconnect
And you make it so real
I don’t need your love to disconnect
No way to disconnect - 29 . -break #2-

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 - 32 . Question Mark
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 - 33 . -break #3-
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 - 34 . Cherub Rock
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
