Additional Information

Info found on Wikipedia:

“The Marked were a Gothic/New Wave band which formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1985, but later on moved to Florida with the hopes of attaining a bigger fan base. The band’s name was obtained from Billy Corgan and Ron Roesing’s portwine birthmarks. The band were reported to have played around 20 shows in and around St. Petersburg, Florida before Dale eventually left after a small show, later Ron and Billy decided to return to Chicago. The original band members were Billy Corgan (Vocals/Guitar/Bass), Dale Meiners (Vocals/Bass) and Ron Roesing (Drums). In 1986 Dale left the band and was replaced by Len Ayala. Len left the band shortly after and was replaced in 1988 by guitarist James Iha with Billy taking up the bass position. The Marked then became The Smashing Pumpkins.”

      Lyrics

      I walk the wall behind you
      I walk the wall
      I walk the wall behind you
      I walk the wall
      I stare at you through a shattered window
      When you walked down my street
      I always think of you when I’m standing alone
      But we know that I shouldn’t think like that
      Fade on violet
      Fade on violet
      Well I thought to myself
      I’ve always waited for you
      but then I know, you’d never look again
      When I was standing on the street corner
      In my paisley mind
      I always dream about you
      Fade on violet
      In my street car named desire
      It’s my only fire
      Like a black and white movie of Marlon Brando
      With my hands in my pockets
      Well I’d die for you in a day
      And I’d move to the line
      I’d drop in my hole
      And wait for you to take my hand
      Fade on violet
      Fade on violet
      On every crease
      That bears your name
      I can’t wait to tell everybody
      It’s not the same
      And the crescent moon that waits for you far above
      This is why they’ll die soon at home
      To the hole below
      Fade on violet
      Fade on violet
      Fade on violet
      You danced in the rain
      Hopeless ground
      I hate my pain
      As you face dances

      Lyrics

      I want to understand you
      But you say no
      I want to see inside you
      But you won’t let anyone go
      Through your stained glass window
      You’re all sealed off
      I can’t see in
      At any cost
      Everybody’s on the outside looking in
      At your stained glass window
      It’s all messed up
      I can look but can’t touch
      What’s going on here
      Do you really have something to hide
      I want to understand you
      But you say no
      I want to dig inside you
      But you won’t let anyone go
      Through your stained glass window
      Stained glass window
      Stained glass window

      Lyrics

      I cannot see you
      Or feel you
      When you are near
      I cannot see you
      Or feel you
      When you’re near
      Sat ?
      On your own
      On your own
      Sat in ?
      ?
      Into a storm
      I cannot see you
      Or feel you
      When you’re near
      I cannot see you
      Or feel you
      When you’re near
      What if some of those words
      Where to reach me
      It’s dead of pure pleasure

      Lyrics

      Everything that you try is such a happy trip
      Slipping on a voodoo smile
      And dressed so hoodoo ripped
      Put it in paper people
      And poison, potent poison
      The run to the bridge
      Was so out of season
      Well
      A love potion
      That moves through on his position
      Throw caution into deaf wind
      That expired emotion
      Who would you?
      Who would you serve?
      Who would you?
      Who would you?
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Well
      Dali holds the hand of god
      People die with every notion
      But the poison was in your hand
      But no, no regrets you
      Pleasant smile
      Twisted by death
      Anyone who will swallow it whole
      Swallow it whole
      It whole
      Swallow it whole
      Swallow
      We dance to drums
      Like the fire seems starts to crackle
      Sweet voices stand through these eyes
      Position where it’s no struggle
      ? want to scream
      Fix her like putty that rolls
      What you seek
      I just take your hand
      ? your smile
      ?
      Straight at yourself for more
      Swallow it whole
      Swallow it whole
      ?
      ?
      Just mould like putty
      Through the hands of god
      I held the hand of god
      I heard him say
      Send these to ?
      ? god to do with you
      No time to serve this time
      No time to serve this time
      No time to serve this time
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Say
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god

      I hold the hand of god
      Hand of god
      Position proper
      Position proper
      Position proper
      Seems strange to what you know
      That you can’t break all alone
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god
      Dali holds the hand of god

      Lyrics

      Written in the sand
      Always scrawled in foreign hand
      The words of your future
      And the faces of your past
      Raising up in shadow
      Hidden in coral eyes
      Filing whirling dervish
      Untold the secret lies
      The fire that burns inside you
      Is lit as eternal flame
      Desire to surround you
      Puppets playing a mystic game
      Always filled with confusion
      You move along in song
      Steps in the process
      We belong
      In trance
      Well the caretaker reached in his pocket
      And revealed a timeless watch
      The rabbit sang Beatle tunes
      Whispering out of time
      We slip down peppermint stick
      And into an ancient candy
      Walking along coffee air
      Taking our chances in the water
      The fire that burns inside you
      Is lit as eternal flame
      Desire to surround you
      Puppets playing a mystic game
      Always filled with confusion
      You move along in song
      Steps in the process
      We belong
      In trance
      The fire that burns inside you
      Is lit as eternal flame
      Desire to surround you
      Puppets playing a mystic game
      Always filled with confusion
      You move along in song
      Steps in the process
      We belong
      In trance
      In trance
      In trance
      In trance

      Lyrics

      I’m tired of living a lie
      Where black turns to grey
      Confused and alone
      I’m so, so scared
      I’ve tried living a lie
      On one side of the wall
      But things seem confused
      On the other side
      Listen to the world
      It speaks in tongues
      Listen to the world
      You will find
      They all stood still
      Stood still
      Stood still
      I couldn’t seem to be
      Another broken world
      Time has left me die
      I’m so, so alone
      I wouldn’t dare to cry
      Another day
      I feel clicks behind
      I’m so, so scared
      Listen to the world
      It knows your name
      Listen to the world
      That you will find
      They all stood still
      I’m tired of living a lie
      I’m tired of living a lie
      I’m so tired of living a lie
      Near me
      They all stood still
      Be a lie
      We all stood still
      Be a lie
      Near me
      Near me
      Be a lie

      Lyrics

      [that sounds good]
      You’re always walking around
      With your head in the clouds
      My little jealous game
      Sent you clutching again
      We were wrapped up inside
      Inside of you every day
      But I’ll never get out
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      You say I’m different now
      ‘Cause you know I’m the same
      Like a dirty swimming pool
      Where the water is drained
      We were wrapped up inside
      Inside of you every day
      Now I’m shaking all over
      On the floor in the rain
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      I’ve seen your eyes
      And I know that you’re lying
      Walking the streets
      And it’s you I’m denying
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
      Because of Cristina
