    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

  •  2 . That’s The Way

    Details

    Title extra: (My Love Is)

    Length: 3:48

    Written By: Billy Corgan

    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
