Additional Information

Soon after the official release of Zeitgeist in July, 2007, Chinese bootleggers came with their version. It contains all the tracks of Zeitgeist and some random Judas O tracks on a white CD. The second CD (silver) is the Greatest Hits CD in its entirety. Note the many spelling errors and the unusual wooden package with Spanish (?) lyrics for “Starz”.

Track List

  • Zeitgeist
    •  1 . Doomsday Clock

      Length: 3:44

      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

      Lyrics

      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
      This ticking in my heart
      Is everyone afraid?

      Written By:

      Additional Info: It's working title was Shades Of Doom. From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That song’s very much in our old kind of Pumpkins wheelhouse. It was kind of like getting reacquainted with an old friend at a high school reunion.” Jimmy Chamberlin “This song reminds me of when they would bring back Vincent Price in the Eighties to do Vincent Price again. I feel like I brought out the mid-Nineties guy to have a stroll through his narcissistic, nihilistic landscape.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I’m on the street yeah
      I want you
      I’m looking for myself
      I’m gonna make it
      I’ll take it
      Like everybody else
      Belle of the fawning
      I’m yawning
      Sister can’t you spell
      Above suspicion
      Hey listen!
      I’m digging my own hell
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      And without peer
      And without fear
      I’m without anyone at all
      I’m torn apart, decrying
      How unjust you are
      For bursting
      My black heart
      ‘Cause you don’t want me no more
      But just you worry
      ‘Cause when they scratch-scratch my door
      You’ll hurry
      Ah 1, 2, 3
      This gun is loaded, devoted
      You postulate the rest
      Riding the seesaw
      There’s no law
      That I have ever met
      I’m just a flat punk
      On dead junk
      Riding a vanguard
      Cut from the vaunted
      I’m haunted, till death do us part
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      Fall in hate with me
      With one trick
      You will want it all
      The yeah-yeah tears
      The now and here
      The without anyone at all
      I’m torn without
      I’m crying out for doom
      ‘Cause you don’t want me no more
      But babe don’t worry
      ‘Cause when you scratch-scratch my door
      I’ll show you, either or ?
      We are the lurking
      The panzers
      The black as coal as night
      Stealing what stealthy
      And stellar
      Until we get it right
      Notice the yearlings
      The dead things
      The pretty as you please
      I am the regent, the marquis
      Sowing my bad seeds
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      ‘Cause I want you bad
      Fall in hate with me
      With one trick
      You will want it all
      As St. Patrick pipes on!

    •  3 . Bleeding The Orchid
      Details

      Length: 4:03

      Additional Info: Also known as Orchid. From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “I realized listening to ‘Orchid’ that it’s a distant commentary on what happened to the bands of the Nineties. The song even has a bit of an homage to Alice in Chains in the harmonies. Alice in Chains is one band that I appreciate so much more now than when we were all in the same competitive streak. I also thought a lot about Kurt Cobain and what we’d all been through as a collective unit and the battle-scarred feeling of that. I wondered about what our contribution was as a generation. I’m close to Courtney Love. I know the negative ramifications of that time. I see what she goes through, and the ramifications on Francis Bean. Everybody can talk about the Kurt on a t-shirt, but they’re still real people . So in a way, that song is a cost assessment.” Billy Corgan “We’re great believers in continuing the search musically until the last possible minute looking for something better than what you have, and that song is one that benefited.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      If life is my witness
      Love is my song
      If nothing means no one
      Then blank, I belong
      If fear conquers easy
      I can lead on
      Milk from the flower
      Blood from the dawn
      So here we are
      Upon your stage
      The laughs we shared
      The dreams we saved
      Bleeding the orchid
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      Bleeding the orchid
      Blessed my weakness
      Blessed my wrongs
      As hate forms the sequence
      Of one by one
      As freedoms die easy
      We suffrage the want
      There’s clouds in my shower
      Ghosts in my arms
      Youth is where you are
      Faith some sinner’s child
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      We’re bleeding the orchid
      Bleeding the orchid
      Gilded art this silent march past triumph thru alarm
      So thus charmed
      Does this will stand for much?
      But heart’s untouched by heart’s unloved
      Bleeding the orchid
      Here we are
      Upon your stage
      The love we share
      The dreams we’ll save
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid
      They’re bleeding the orchid

      Title extra: (My Love Is)

      Length: 3:48

      Written By:

      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

      Lyrics

      They say that life ain’t easy

      They’ll say your life’s a crime

      Destroy up all good reason

      How I’m alive

      They’ll say that nothing matters

      Not even your will to survive

      Of course I love you baby

      ‘Cause I’m alive

      Yes, I’m alive

      Whenever I call you out

      Whenever I draw you round

      Whenever is here and now

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      They’ll say you’ll lose your nerve soon

      To claim identity

      Disgrace our sacred promise

      With no belief

      Oh, how I believe in you

      That’s the way my love is, for you

      That’s the way my love is, for you!

      I feel a coming age now

      I feel a dawn in me

      A certain sun keeps rising

      On my belief in you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way i care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “Billy bought this guitar from this guy from Paris (James Trussart) who makes steel guitars and he brought a couple examples of his work to our rehearsal space. Billy grabbed one and plugged in into his amp and immediately started playing the riff from ‘Tarantula’ and the song was written pretty much on the spot.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That’s our nod to the Scorpions, and UFO--a loving nod to the hard rock bands of that era.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I don’t want to fight

      Every single night

      Everything I want is in your eyes

      You and me go back

      To places I dont know to care

      The spoils of all I got were left for scraps

      Don’t let me say this

      But you’re no worse than me

      It’s crazy

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the real

      They feel we have enough

      We are the real

      ‘Cause someone gave us up

      I want to be there when you’re happy

      I want to love you when you’re sad

      Cant stand the morning rain?

      Get out i’ll take your place then

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Then close your eyes you’ll see

      The angel dust

      I dont want to be

      Anything believed

      A million watts of sound can’t compare

      Come along you’ll see the world

      The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls

      The current starts to flow and then you’re on

      Oh it’s white hot soul they want

      To sing for

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the ruin

      Of every living soul

      We are surreal

      Cause someone gave us up

      Don’t break the oath

      I want to love you when you’re happy

      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

      We are the real

      In ever living soul

      Oh dont they know?

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Can’t stand the morning rain?

      Oh get out i’ll take your place again

      I dont want to be alone

      I dont want to be alone at all

      If it’s a white hot soul they want

      Then a black heart they’ll get

      Length: 3:41

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “I originally wanted this song to sound sort of as if it were from that weird period from 1972-1974 when bands started going metal like Judas Priest but a lot of it still sounded poppy like the Sweet. I wanted ‘Starz’ to sound like that, but of course then Roy blew it up into some other thing. Yes, I am aware that there was a band Starz back then. Now I’m going to have to buy their stuff.” Billy Corgan “That’s Roy being Roy--as only he can.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Born of love and cast in light

      Don’t you know we cannot die

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      The stars above, stars of grace

      Shining down what’s left of face

      You hurt so bad

      This knowing, this fallacy

      I want so much

      To follow as I lead

      For love I keep

      Silent I weep

      Dead suns rule dead air

      But heaven is everywhere

      Stars…

      Torn from god and flung towards night

      Don’t you want what I can’t fight

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      We are stars

      We are

      The stars that shine, stars that bleed

      Silver seeking destiny

      So follow please

      This hurts so much

      This knowing carries me

      We want so bad

      We forget we are free

      Spirit smile on

      Deep black diamond

      So rise the lost toys

      Island of white noise

      And purple haze

      We are starz

      We are starz

      We are starz

      What hurts so much

      Is knowing we are free!

      Length: 9:50

      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

We were about to pack up and I said, ‘Let’s try to write one more song,’ and Jimmy said ‘Okay.’ So that song comes from that little bit of extra effort. I’ve heard Dylan talk about writing songs like being a gamble and a hot streak.

As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true.

      Shot down I stood
      Withstood my neighborhood

      It’s light
      To bring the light
      I fought with all my might, with light
      Oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so good and right
      But tonight you’ll never need another sound
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light to me
      Here and gone oh I trust
      You’d spit upon my dust
      And mix my ash with your blood

      In the light
      Bring the light, let’s bring the light
      Light, oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      It’s yours not mine
      If you just want to survive
      Go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven’s high
      I never felt so real and loved and alive
      No shadows follow me unsung
      In the light, bring the light to me
      A flower song, clear and bright
      Is it wrong, in neon white?
      To insist you are mine
      Standing dumb in the light

      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light!
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so real and right and alive
      Don’t let them steal from you what’s yours by right
      Light, bring the light
      You know there comes a place and time
      You can’t deny

      C’mon let’s go

      A light around your soul

      You could be my friend

      Lovely and different

      Beyond the great unknown

      Beyond their punched-up skulls

      To die upon this road

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Anesthetized I’m hollow

      Playing to the dark back row

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      C’mon let’s go

      Assimilate, it’s all been staged

      I’ve made mistakes, they penetrate

      They’re gonna take, it’s all the same

      They cannot wait, their love spells hate

      I wanna love

      I wanna love

      I’m pushing back

      I’m serpentine

      I’m pushing back

      Lord save me

      With need

      Lord walk me home

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon, c’mon let’s go

      Tears were once my only way back home

      Someone weeps and instantly I’m thrown

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      C’mon let’s go

      Details

      Length: 4:51

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “In the beginning, before it went disco, that one was very Morricone and kinda bad.” Jimmy Chamberlin “I started the song on an acoustic guitar, and I just loved something about hearing the words ‘God and Country’ coming out of my mouth because I’m just not that patriotic. It was like our ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.’ So I have this cheap synthesizer that is our go-to instrument when we don’t know what to do, and I started playing the chords and pushing different buttons and ultimately settled on a dance rhythm. What makes the song even more bizarre is that you have a sort of political message to a disco beat--thanks to Roy who mixed it like an old Donna Summer dance track. I told him the bass was just too loud and he gave me a face like I was taking away his toy. Of course, Roy was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I want to live for god and country
      I want to give for god and country
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for what you’ve done
      I can’t help what I divide in you
      For god and country I’ll fight
      For god and country I’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms for god and country
      I want to live where no one’s watching my way home
      I want to give until I’m bursting with unknown
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for everyone
      I can’t help what I destroy in you
      Well who needs this anymore?
      C’mon make it so
      That’s when they build their cross of death
      You won’t build your own
      It’s time to wake up!
      It’s time to wake up for good
      I can’t help you though I should
      For god and country we’ll fight
      For god and country we’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms For god and country
      You can’t deny god and country
      We’re fighting for our lives
      You can’t deny god and country
      Our souls are so aligned
      In this time of god and country
      We’ll take you on our side
      It’s alright
      My soul is so alive
      With god and night
      With god and country
      My soul is so alive

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: "Billy had a sketch of that one that was just him at the organ at first. And I think I was the first cheerleader for that song. I thought the melody and the use of space was so compelling. Even though I play busily myself, I’m a sucker for a lot of space in songs.” Jimmy Chamberlin “I played it for Jimmy and he’s usually my BS meter, and he loved it. Then I played it for an ex-girlfriend, and she started crying, and it didn’t even have lyrics yet. So then we talked about getting an orchestra, but instead we got an old Emulator--the Art of Noise keyboard--and built the track around that.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      When I was born I lost

      When I was freed I fought

      Now that I’m loved I’m caught

      Between the rest and this tragic mess

      An invited guest

      Torn, broken and frayed

      Oh don’t we face

      War, sunshine and grace

      Oh won’t you stay

      For a while

      We can fail in style

      I can hold your smile

      For a while

      What was once new now gone

      What was once praised now wrong

      As they go, we can say we know

      But what do we know

      But warm sunshine and graves

      Don’t we see

      What’s bitter to taste

      Torn, broken and frayed

      Don’t we face

      War, sunshine and graves

      Won’t you stay

      ‘Cause I won’t tell

      I won’t tell a soul

      That I’m mad as hell

      Torn, broken and frayed

      I’m torn, broken and frayed

      No, I’m cold, worn out and shamed

      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

      A ghost with eyes

      In your head a thousand stars
      Through the darkness you can see a light
      And if they steal your life

      And we’re so dumb

      With our registered calculations

      And if you dare

      And should I care

      I could destroy you

      And take you there

      As the spitfires begin their descent

      And tragic romantic ascent

      My love is one hundred percent

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Mistake, it was all my mistake

      So suck me through

      Your saliva screws

      I can’t help myself if I don’t know

      The flaws in you

      That were equal to

      The mysteries I’ve almost knew

      And I’ve said this so many, many times

      Can’t help you out of your mind

      So please don’t judge me unkind

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      And if you pretend

      Please try to offend everyone

      We share the sea monkey disease

      So give me my greatful little piece

      And do what you want as you please

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Come back to me, my mistake

      Midnight people

      Rushing for a downtown train

      Watching and wasting away

      Their hearts beat free

      Cool frequency

      And I don’t know what it is

      I’m gonna run the slow dawn

      Seeking sigh, oh so faint

      I’m gonna run the slow dawn awake

      It’s blessed undone

      The songbirds all around

      And I’m not sure what it is

      But I’m sure that I could give it

      Awake the slow dawn

      Slow dawn moves by my side

      Teach your silent sleep

      Slow dawn

      The midnight people

      Washing down here, wasting way

      They’re gonna run the slow dawn awake

      The slow dawn awake

      The slow dawn awake

      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

      Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

      Stars full of wishes fill our beds

      All this pain smothers me

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you drown

      You've traveled very far

      Just to see you I'll come around

      When I'm down

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")

      You traveled very far

      You traveled far, like a star

      And you are

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      Is it something someone said?

      Was it something someone said?

      Yesterday the sky was you

      And I still feel the same

      Nothing left for me to do

      And I still feel the same

      I wish, I wish I could fly

      I wish, I wish I could lie

      I will, I will try

      I will, I will

      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

      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

      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      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

      Lyrics

      My reflection, dirty mirror

      There’s no connection to myself

      I’m your lover, I’m your zero

      I’m the face in your dreams of glass

      So save your prayers

      For when we’re really gonna need ’em

      Throw out your cares and fly

      Wanna go for a ride?

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      Cause she’s the one for me

      Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

      And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

      Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness

      Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

      The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

      I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship

      I never let on that I was down

      You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore

      You blame yourself for wanting more

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      She’s the one for me

      She’s my one and only

      Lyrics

      Time is never time at all

      You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

      And our lives are forever changed

      We will never be the same

      The more you change the less you feel

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain

      We’re not the same, we’re different tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      And you know you’re never sure

      But you’re sure you could be right

      If you held yourself up to the light

      And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

      The place where you were born

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      In the resolute urgency of now

      And if you believe there’s not a tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      We’ll crucify the insincere tonight

      We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight

      We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight

      The indescribable moments of your life tonight

      The impossible is possible tonight

      Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

      Lyrics

      I lie, I wait
      I stop, I hesitate
      I am, I breathe
      I meant, I think of me
      Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
      All I have is all you gave to me
      Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
      Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
      Turn away from light
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough
      I taste, I love
      I come, I bleed enough
      I hate, I’m not
      I was, I want too much
      Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?
      All I have is all you gave to me
      Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
      Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
      Turn away from light
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch
      It’s not enough, just a touch

      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

      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

      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

      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

      What’s our mission

      Do we know

      But never listen

      For too long

      They held me under

      But I hear

      It’s almost over

      In detroit

      On a memphis train

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of

      The automatic gauze of your memories

      Down in the sleep at the airplane races

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit longer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit colder

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Paperback scrawl your hidden poem

      Written around the dried out flowers

      Here we are still trading places

      To try to hold on

      Pop tart

      Can you envision

      A free world

      Of clear division

      For too long

      They held us under

      But I know

      We’re getting over

      In detroit

      With the nashville tears

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers

      Down in the gaze of solemnity

      Down in the way you held together

      To try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit closer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit older

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      And no one should deny

      We try to hold on

      To the pulse of a feedback current

      Into the flow of the cryptic movement

      Slapback kills the ancient remnants

      That try to hold on

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      Alive

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      Pop tart

      You never listen

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Stop start

      What’s our mission

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Lyrics

      Fall into the century on a supersonic cross

      Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss

      Calling out I won’t surrender a locket of her hair

      Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs

      Into the dark again

      To feel alive again, and wait for

      Real love

      Or is it me you’re after

      Is it time

      ‘Cause it’s now or never

      Real love

      Real love forever

      Real love

      Born of the ball and chain

      Into a world sustained with sorrow

      Real love

      A real touch we speak in

      Is it ours

      Or is it what we’re seekin’

      Real love

      In the eyes, behold and you’ll find the 21st century

      You detonate her will and her widowed speech

      Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin

      That held her mother’s first kiss in a nameless dream

      Fall down the stairs again

      To feel alive against tomorrow

      Real love

      Or is it me you’re after

      Is it time

      ‘Cause it’s now or never

      Real love

      Real love forever

      Is it love

      Or just yours to treasure

      Real love

      Real love

      Real love

      We never listen

      Real love will listen

      And tell her of a fortune

      Real love is riches

      Scratch through the changes

      Real love is nameless

      So tired and hopeless

      Real love is painless

      Nobody mentions

      We ever move to collect

      The solar questions

      Demon scorn should not relax

      The laws of gravity

      Real love

      Should I know all we’re missing

      What’s to stop what they’re missing

      To feel love, to be in love

      Anyone can hold a promise

      Not everyone can feel honored

      To slay the things that trouble you

      Turn me on, out of reach

      Listen here, feel me

      If you don’t, I won’t flaunt it

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      When you’re young you can promise

      Anything that you wanted

      To be in love, to feel love all around

      Turn me on, let me speak

      From my heart, I receive

      Plain happiness, just happiness

      You and me

      To be in love, to feel love

      Around

      I know your wish, I hold it true

      Turn me on out of reach

      Let me speak all my peace

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel love

      All around

      To feel love, to be in love

      All around

      To be in love, to feel love

      All around
