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.”
Billy Corgan wrote on the J-card:
Sept 14, Oct 10,11 dates are Act IV
Oct 1 date was Empty Keg
Hope you enjoy – some of the mixes are
shitty – But at least you can hear
my voice + my music
All song but no answer, girl I never
loved are mine
Streetlight, animas is Meiners-Corgan
By the way, most songs are about you
I love you – love always Billy

Lyrics
As I walked down your street
And I always wished that you were with me
And I walked
I walked behind you
As I dreamed a blackened sun
Oh, oh
And I looked once it eased
I see you there my dear
As I think of times behind
And all the books that were wrote
All the time we walked on the ocean long
Picking up the stars that stood as our guide
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait
Fade on violet
Fade on violet
In the dream that was behind
And I know that we can build a hope
And I wait
And I wait
And then I dream
And we dream
That we hope
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait for you - 3 . No Answer

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

- 11 . The Trance
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

MORE +Lyrics
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
I’ll know that I never fear
Walking in the sun
I never fear the light
Walking in my sun
I know that I never fear - 15 . Sacrifice

- 16 . Anima Animus
Lyrics
[Dale: Thank you, this next song is called Anima Animus. This song is for Sherrie, because I love Sherrie and she loves me and well…
Audience: Me too, awww.
Dale: That’s nice, that’s nice.]
Deep inner feeling
Sitting inner space
That my anima or animus
Bring me to this place
Living in illusions
Looking for a fate
Feeling ancient animals
I can’t regurgitate
Away
Away
Too much to give away
Being in a focus
Feeling out of place
Should I think of you and what you do is mine
Adjusting karmic place
Stutter towards acceptance
Stutter to your face
Knowing what compels me
Through my life that I create
Away
Away
There’s too much to give away
Being in a focus
And seeming out of place
Should I think of you and what you do is mine
Adjusted karmic place
Stuttered towards acceptance
Stuttered to your face
Knowing what compels me
Through my life that I create
Away
Away
There’s too much to give away
Away
Away

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
Marked
You
Are
Marked
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
Are
Marked
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

- 20 . Stained Glass Window
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 - 21 . Fire
Lyrics

All right
Now dig this, baby
You don’t care for me
I don’t care about that
You got a new fool, ha
I like it like that
I have only got a burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah
You say your mama ain’t home
It ain’t my concern
You said play with me
And you wanna burn
I have only got a burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand
Let me stand
Let me stand
Let me stand
Move over, rover
And let Fred take over
Yeah, you know what I’m talking about
Yeah
Ron Roesing
You said play with me
And you wanna burn
Well, I’ve got news for you baby
I’m gonna burn
I have only got a burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand
Let me stand - 22 . Mao Say Tongue #1
