Additional Information
Tracklist for this release was verified using a seller’s impression of the songs upon listening. SPfreaks reviewed the notes and suggest that the cassette is a combination of The Moon (partial) and The Smashing Pumpkins demo cassettes. It is not known where the split from Side A to Side B occurs.
The original seller claims an “unknown song” exists between the tracks Sun (Remix) and She. At this time, it is unknown if this claim is accurate.
Interestingly, the original contributor of this cassette confirms the title, DAT TAPE #1, which is present on the j-card insert, is indeed packaged with the tape (as pictured) titled DAT TAPE #2. This inconsistency presents two possibilities: one, the DAT TAPE #2 is a scribal error and is supposed to read DAT TAPE #1, or two; the package was somehow mishandled and another DAT TAPE #1 cassette also exists.
By taking one step further into making an educated guess regarding the true nature of this release, the omission of the first four songs from the Moon demo on this cassette seems to suggest they could appear at the end of the real DAT TAPE #1 – the one that may or may not exist. Using this theory also suggests DAT TAPE #1 (Side A and part of Side B) would be full of other pre-Virgin material. However, at this time, there is no evidence to support this claim, so the entry will be left as is, until a time we can prove another DAT TAPE was created.

Lyrics
In Spanish: “My sacred heart. I speak of my heart as if it were an entity seperate from me. I think the same thing about pain. It’s like an evil spirit outside of me that’s always with me. The pain that I feel is like a weight that guides me. There’s no way to destroy it. It’s my eternal opera.”

Planned a show
Trees and balloons

See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way

How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way

And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes to these mustered lines

Lyrics
Bye June
I’m going to the moon
It better be by June
‘Cause I’m going to the moon
So June
You’d better make it soon
I hope you make it June
‘Cause I’m going to the moon
Bye June
Bye June
I’m going to the moon
I hope you make it soon
‘Cause I’m waiting on this moon
Bye June
I hope you make it too
I’m wishing you’re there too
I hope you make it June
Bye bye June
Hope you make it to the moon - 4 . Stars Fall In
Lyrics
I know this room just crumbles like a tomb
Surrender to the day that I made
Your stars fall in
Your stars fall in
Don’t waste it
You’re not simple
When my head swells just like a balloon
So soon I must realize
Once my words were dangerous
Now they just seem blasphemous
Stars fall in
I’ve walked in search of soul complete
Higher than I’d ever want to be
Come along with me
Over the edge and over to the shelf
Polished up and realized
What I’ve done confronts me whole
Looking into a world disowned
Stars fall in
Your stars fall in
Your stars fall in
(Ok) - 5 . Daughter
Lyrics
Hands that offer
Hands that take
Someone’s daughter
Taking me, take me away
In the water
Just like a snake
Someone’s daughter
Hidden up, sleep away
And you feel you’ve been abused
For your life, your love, and truth - 6 . Spoken #3
Lyrics
In Spanish: “I want to triumph over you. I want respect. I want it all. God will help me to help myself. I don’t know. Dreams and wishes become reality. Peace and love for humanity.”

My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
- 8 . Spoken #4
Lyrics
In Spanish: “The surreal and suspect dream — I want to clearly remember it, but I can’t. The dream lives in me. My desires control me. My thoughts follow. What is it that stops me from killing, from thinking, from recognizing my destiny? Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
- 9 . Psychodelic
Lyrics
Taking my time
Taking everything I have
Losing my mind
Losing everything I have
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
Harder to find
Easy to just walk away
I’m losing my mind
I’ve lost everything I have
And I have
And I have
Yeah, I have
Who do you want to be?
You want satisfaction you can’t receive
How many times will you leave?
You want sati-satisfaction you can’t receive
[and i thought that i knew who it was (?)]
- 10 . Jennifer Ever
Lyrics
She always waits for someone
Someone who’ll never leave
Revealing her decision
Her arms cover me
My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone, someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
Jennifer always tells me
Please don’t be afraid
I just want to hold you
I only want you to stay
My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone, someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
My cup holds no one
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone, someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer - 11 . East
Lyrics
Tried to tell her who I really am
But I'm not so sure that I really can
Well, you've got to know, I don't understand
Well, you've got to know who I really am
Give me one more chance
As a child, I once had a dream
My mother spoke something down to me
She said, "son, you must walk upon your knees
Down the road, headed for the east"
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone
Tried to tell her who I really am
But I'm not so sure that I really can
Well, you've got to know I don't understand
'Cause I'm not so sure who I really am
If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone
If I had a way to go, I'd gather up my throwing stone
- 12 . Nothing And Everything
Lyrics
Hiding behind my hair today
My eyes dance with fire
The thought of living here
And the bounds I transpire
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
The grave that bears my name
Transpires in a dream
I dream immortality
Yet I fall in vain
Cause as long as I don’t breathe
I’ll never be like them
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
Hiding behind my hair today
Wishing I was far away
Walking in this slow-motion town
I seem to think so fast
Standing with your mannequin
I try to hold my breath
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart
If you go and I would stay
And you would call my name
I would cry, yes, I would cry
If you go and I would stay
You would call my name
I would die, yes, I would die
Walking in or walking out
Is the same as talking about my heart
My heart - 13 . Sun

Quiet walls sputter yes
Rolling tears of pain
Must I go into your hiding room
Using your loss to gain
Walking in the sun
I never fear the light
Walking in the sun
I never fear
Quiet confusion haunts me still
My will can't reign
Must I go into your hiding room
Using your loss to gain
Walking in the sun
I never fear the light
Walking in the sun
Il know that I never fear
Walking in the sun
I never fear the light
Walking in my sun
I know that I never fear
- 14 . She
Lyrics
She will never, ever go
Waiting for her man
Waiting for her man
She will never, ever know
Waiting for her time
Waiting for my time
Wall to wall I hear the noise
Standard in her voice
Simple in her choice
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
I'm the one she swore she'd never love
I'm the one I know she's thinking of
She will never, ever burn
Waiting for her time
Waiting for her time
She will never, ever say
Waiting for her game
Waiting for her game
She
She, yeah
She, yeah yeah yeah
Wall to wall i hear the noise
Standard in her voice
Simple in the choice
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
I'm the one she swore she'd never love
I'm the one I know she's thinking of
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game
Praying for sunday
She is everything
Monday to tuesday
Wednesday's another game

Your words will one day spite your face
And another mouth will come and take its place
It’ll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
I will never understand the motive drive

In a dream I wander on
To the bell tower, writing songs
So I crumple this page, and rip it up
Never piece my broken heart to you
Marked
You

Your words will one day spite your face
And another mouth will come and take its place
It’ll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry
I will never understand the motive drive

Your words will spite your face
Your words will spite your face
