      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

      Lyrics

      I’m so alone
      I’m so alone, I’m thinking
      I’m so alone, I can’t get old
      I’m so alone
      I’m so alone, I can’t get off of you
      Fool, you love yourself
      Fool, you love yourself and no one else
      The bitter root of self
      Come on, baby
      No time for maybes
      One last trip to hell
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Low in you
      Slow in you
      It’s that glow in you
      I’m so alone
      I’m so alone, I’m sinking
      I’m so alone, I can’t get lost in you
      Fool, you love yourself
      Fool, you love yourself and no one else
      The bitter root of self
      Come on, baby
      Drive me crazy
      One last trip to hell
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Low in you
      Slow in you
      It’s that glow in you
      And it’s not strange
      That you’re the same
      From me
      And it’s not strange
      That I’m so strange
      To please
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it?
      Come on, come on, come on, can you feel it glow?

      Lyrics

      I spin off and lose my head

      Throwing stray a spark instead

      Gather strength down in my heel

      And dig it in the world I peel

      Way down deep within my heart

      Lies a soul that’s torn apart

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t give – I unveil

      Don’t want to live in your misery

      I don’t live – I inhale

      Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

      Stars full of wishes fill our beds

      She said, “I’m dead”

      All this pain smothers me

      Like a bomb that you can’t see

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t give – I unveil

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t live

      Lyrics

      Speed kills, but beauty lives forever

      Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name

      I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter

      And stood still beside eternal flame

      And when I ride

      With you tonight

      We can move

      At the speed of light

      With all I’d asked

      And all I’d pray

      The last rose of summer would stay

      First time that I ever saw you

      Crashing hard thru days of pain

      You were one of god’s children

      Left to cry out in the rain

      Waiting to be saved again

      ‘Cause when I ride

      With you tonight

      We can move

      At the speed of light

      And all I’d ask

      And all I pray

      The last rose of summer

      The last rose of summer

      The last rose of summer is gone

      Long gone, gone

      The last rose of summer is gone

      When I ride

      With you tonight

      We can move

      At the speed of light

      Forever young

      Forever blind

      Into the stars

      We rock tonight

      Last rose of summer is gone

      The last rose of summer is gone

      The last rose of summer is gone

      The last rose of summer is gone

      The last rose of summer

      The last rose of summer

      The last rose of summer is gone

      Lyrics

      Evolution

      Dissolution

      Rise

      One solution

      One takes you beyond

      This love

      And mine

      Before I

      Leave

      Time

      Aaaah

      Love

      This day

      Love

      Love

      Love is his claim

      Lyrics

      We are the new gods
      Same as the old gods
      We’ll take all your blood
      And turn it into mud
      As Rome burns
      One by one
      Two by two
      Together they ride
      Side by side
      Into love
      Together they die
      And still they want to weather the tide
      As Rome burns
      Forgiveness all your days
      To count what you can’t save
      We’ll take out one good eye
      And leave a world to fall behind
      As Rome burns
      I see them everywhere out shaking to the beat
      Cursing out their elements
      With chaos, chaos bleats
      And what seemed urgent then turns wicked in the heat
      As Rome burns to the motherfucking ground

      Lyrics

      Hello darkness, my old friend
      I’ve come to talk with you again
      Because a vision softly creeping
      Left its seeds while I was sleeping
      And the vision that was planted in my brain
      Still remains
      Within the sound of silence
      In restless dreams I walked alone
      Narrow streets of cobblestone
      ‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
      I turned my collar to the cold and damp
      When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
      That split the night
      And touched the sound of silence
      And in the naked light I saw
      Ten thousand people, maybe more
      People talking without speaking
      People hearing without listening
      People writing songs that voices never share
      And no one dared
      Disturb the sound of silence
      “Fools”, said I, “You do not know
      Silence like a cancer grows
      Hear my words that I might teach you
      Take my arms that I might reach you”
      But my words, like silent raindrops fell
      And echoed
      In the wells of silence
      And the people bowed and prayed
      To the neon god they made
      And the sign flashed out its warning
      In the words that it was forming
      And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
      And tenement halls”
      And whispered in the sounds of silence

      Lyrics

      Little by little the night turns around
      Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
      Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
      Under the eaves the swallow is resting
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      Over the mountain watching the watcher
      Breaking the darkness
      Waking the grapevine
      One inch of love is one inch of shadow
      Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
      Witness the man who raves at the wall
      Making the shape of his questions to Heaven
      Whether the sun will fall in the evening
      Will he remember the lesson of giving?
      Set the controls for the heart of the sun
      The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
