      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

      Lyrics

      Tired eyes

      Closed for days

      There’s no regret

      ‘Cause there’s no place

      I don’t know

      What I believe

      But if I feel safe

      What do I need

      A home

      A home

      A home

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      Dulcet tongues

      Whisper fast

      The future yearns

      Right now’s the past

      Rouse me soon

      The end draws nigh

      Who’s side are you on?

      Your blood you cannot buy

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to you

      Well I

      I feel alright

      So tonight

      I got to ask you why

      Why deny it

      It’s no surprise

      I’ve got to survive

      Freedom shines the light ahead

      I’ll lead the last charge to bed

      I said my last rights

      I don’t have to run scared no more

      Fight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      At the light

      At the light

      Do you wanna watch me die

      Let me be something good

      Let me prove something real like I should

      Let me embrace every single living thing

      Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known

      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!

      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

      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
      Goodbye

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “This was one of the songs we had earmarked for Roy Thomas Baker to produce. As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true. He’s one of the most hard-working, aware and brilliant people we’ve ever worked with and we couldn’t wait to hear what he did with that song.” Billy Corgan

      “For me that track is all about Roy–the way he produced, that drum sound. Roy doesn’t produce songs; he produces moments. We were constantly trying our best to put a smile on Roy’s face.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Shot down I stood
      Withstood my neighborhood
      I got it wrong
      But I could
      Follow love lest I learn
      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
      A son of god you know you must arrive
      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
      Bring 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
      With every movement shadows cast and align
      Bring the light, bring the light
      Bring the light let’s bring the light
      Light, bring the light

      Lyrics

      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
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      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
      When you feel the same
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      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
      Tell me I’m the only one
      Tell me there’s no other one
      Jesus was an only son
      Tell me I’m the chosen one
      Jesus was an only son for you
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “We were about to break for Christmas at the end of ‘05, and it was sort of the last day at school, musically. 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. Once you’re on the roll, you have to keep going.” Billy Corgan “We always say it’s the extra ten percent that makes a hundred percent difference in what we do. And that song is one of my favorites.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      All hands on deck

      Setting sail to get wrecked off course

      You make what you want of me

      I will keep you anyway

      Let’s fill these hours and kill desire

      Let’s fill these hours and kill desire

      I’m in touch with you

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      Every turn is torture thought

      Every kicking of the drum

      I’ve seen the film

      I know the place

      I’m never lost

      There’s just one way across

      I’m never lost

      Headlights shoot north

      The ends of earth off course

      Of course

      If you think just right

      If you’ll love you’ll find

      Certain truths left behind

      All this is that once forgot

      A closing down of the gate

      But oh these hours

      I lost my place

      I’m never lost

      There’s just one way

      There’s no disgrace in failing me

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      I’m in touch with you

      Let’s kill these hours and fill desire

      I’m in touch with you

      I’m in touch with you

      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

      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 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

      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart

      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth

      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 you I crash cars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god

      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past wastelands of shattered souls
      Warm by my firelight
      I peer into the darkness alone
      As the Indian Summer of my remembrance
      Settles on my bones
      Cracked and weary, I ask for direction home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      Crossroads outside of town
      The heartbroken faces shine
      The city lights so far and dull
      Turning left I know it’s time
      With an urgent wind upon my rolling heals
      To carry me along
      My face downcast, I turn to ruins past and home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past terrors and broken homes
      Wipe the sleep from under your eyes
      Of riverbanks and catacombs
      Sleep into the bee and the sea
      I was to live this life alone
      Lay down Caligula
      Cry out, I know it’s time
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want

      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

      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

      Lyrics

      Born to please, every simple need

      I stand alone in my thoughts indeed

      Hate you

      For ever making me

      I’m in you, I’m your anything

      And I- want you

      And I- need you

      And all you are is brand new

      And I- need you

      Come to me, let me hold you still

      I’m so tired, just as tired as you

      Take me for anyone but me

      All that you feel is never true

      And I- want you

      And I- need you

      And all you are is brand new

      And I- need you

      When you say that you are

      Forever my star

      Could never let you go, no, no

      And never let you know

      Let roar these fears

      To the whore of my tears

      Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes

      Suck you like the sap from a tree

      Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

      And I- want you

      And I- need you

      And all you are is brand new

      And I- need you

      When you say that you are

      Forever my star

      Could never let you go, no, no

      Never let you know

      And I- want you

      And I- need you

      And all you are is brand new

      And I- need you

      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

      Lyrics

      Bleed in your own light
      Dream of your own life
      I miss me
      I miss everything I’ll never be
      And on, and on
      I torch my soul to show
      The world that I am pure
      Deep inside my heart
      No more lies
      A crown of horns
      An image formed deformed
      The mark I’ve borne
      A mark of scorn to you
      Consume my love, devour my hate
      Only powers my escape
      The moon is out, the stars invite
      I think I’ll leave tonight
      So soon I’ll find myself alone
      To relax and fade away
      Do you know what’s coming down
      Do you know I couldn’t stay free?
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free free
      Free of those voices inside me
      I shall be free
      I shall be free

      This love

      Before I

      Aaaah

      If I were alive
      If I were real
      Would you survive
      What would you feel
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      As sentimental as our broken dreams
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die to save your soul
      Let me die, let me die rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their metal machines
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      If I were dead
      Would my records sell
      Could you even tell
      Is it just as well
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      It’s elemental, to all the rust it brings
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

      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

      Freak out
      And give in
      Doesn’t matter what you believe in
      Stay cool
      And be somebody’s fool this year
      ‘Cause they know
      Who is righteous, What is bold
      So I’m told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Hipsters unite
      Come align for the big fight to rock for you
      But beware
      All those angels with their wings glued on
      ‘Cause deep down
      We are frightened and we’re scared
      If you don’t stare
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Tell me all of your secrets
      Cannot help but believe this is true
      Tell me all of your secrets
      I know, I know, I know,
      Should have listened when I was told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there is some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
