Additional Information
This Visions promo contains an approx. 15 minutes video documentary on the career of the Smashing Pumpkins between 1988 and 2000. It has a lot of interview snippets from all bandmembers, even William Corgan Sr says a few lines. All tracks are just (live-)snippets, so don’t be fooled by the durations mentioned here and there. That’s how the database works when we put the studio versions to this release… Also there’s a short piece recorded in the Guggenheim Spain, but the sound wasn’t turned on, so we could not figure out which song is played.

See you in June

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I seek no greater wisdom
Than she has given me
La dolly vita
Sweet as true love
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
Even with all her visions
You can’t even stop
Can’t see what you’re missing
Spinning like a top
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her
La dolly vita
True as blue sky
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
Take it all the way down
Forsake what you have known
Take it all the way down - 3 . 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
That I have ever really known - 4 . Disarm
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 - 5 . Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness

- 6 . To Sheila
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
- 7 . Ava Adore
Lyrics
It’s you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You’ll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever leave behind
In time
In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you’ll always be my whore
Cause you’re the one that I adore
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty
In you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
We must never be apart - 8 . Perfect
Lyrics
I know
We’re just like old friends
We just can’t pretend
That lovers make amends
We are
Reasons so unreal
We can’t help but feel
That something has been lost
But please
You know you’re just like me
Next time
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was
Angel
You know it’s not the end
We’ll always be good friends
But the letters have been sent on
So please
You always were so free
You’ll see
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always were so free
We promised that we’d be
Perfect
- 9 . Heavy Metal Machine
Lyrics
If I were alive
If I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
As sentimental as our broken dreams
Let me die for rock and roll
Let me die to save your soul
Let me die, let me die rock and roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go, let me go rock and roll
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
We’re the metal, in their metal machines
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
If I were dead
Would my records sell
Could you even tell
Is it just as well
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
It’s elemental, to all the rust it brings
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
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 - 10 . This Time
Lyrics
This time I need to know
I really must be told
If it’s over
It’s up to you, you know
The things you really want to hold
Are in pieces
Crashing down
Crashing down again
Crashing down
Crashing down my friends
I’ve got to move it on
I’ve got to sing my song
While I still can
Dispatch the last alarms
Hand out the last few charms
There’s no surprises
Only love
Only love can win
Crashing down
Crashing down again
Only love, yeah
Only love will win
Crashing down
Crashing down again
This time I need to know
I really must be told
That it’s over
I’ve lived my life alone
My every step fortold
To never linger
And yet it haunts me so
What are we letting go
Our spell is broken
Crashing down
Crashing down my friends
Crashing down
Crashing down again
Only love, yeah
Only love will be enough, yeah
Only love will win
For every chemical
You trade a piece of your soul
With no return
And who you think you know
Doesn’t know you at all
Their drain is needless
Someday we’ll wave hello
And wish we’d never waved goodbye
To this romance
We’ll drink up every line
And shoot up every word
Till it’s no more
Crashing down
Crashing down my friends
Only love
Only love can win
So cry these tears
We’ll cry as all
We’ve held so long
To fall apart
As the curtain falls
We bid you all goodnight
- 11 . The Everlasting Gaze
Lyrics
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Now you know where I’ve been
As you sleep, torn I am
Weighted down patiently
Born of love
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Found below, the creatures scream
Stranglehold, a god machine
Begin to tear us out
What is hell
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting a cruel death
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living for myself
Forever waiting
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
- 12 . Landslide
Lyrics
I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
Till the landslide brought it down
Mirror in the sky, what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
I’m getting older too
I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down
