      Details

      Length: 6:13

      Additional Info: Recorded by Billy Corgan and James Iha, using a drummachine, at Billy's father Home Studio. For 3 different reasons this song can be considered as the first creative outing of the Smashing Pumpkins, though the bandname was not yet known at that moment: 1. It was recorded by 2 future Smashing Pumpkins members, without any other influences of members of other bands, past or present at that time. 2. The Smashing Pumpkins played this song live at least 1 time, at the Avalon in Chicago on 1988/08/10. 3. In 1989 this exact same recorded track was released on a private demotape called Gish/Moon, with the name Smashing Pumpkins on it. Billy Corgan has always said he considered the Smashing Pumpkins existing from 1988 till 2000. We however, consider this recording part of the Smashing Pumpkins history and we could say technically the Smashing Pumpkins exist since 1987.

      Lyrics

      It makes no difference to me
      If I die in my sleep tonight
      I’m sick to the bone
      And longing for home
      My blood runs white
      And I didn’t want anyone
      And I didn’t want anyone
      To be hurt by my words
      If there’s pain in hell, I’m feeling it today
      Wishing I were seven in a children’s heaven
      How heavy the world weighs
      How heavy the world weighs
      How heavy the world weighs
      How heavy the world weighs
      Ghosts don’t cry
      And the dead don’t die
      They walk hand in hand
      As if partners in crime
      Partners in crime
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      I’m falling down
      On and on and on down
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      The world could feed you love
      But it’s me you’ve come to despise
      Like a head on a plate of purity
      Playing Judas Iscariot
      In the hands of sanctity
      How heavy the world weighs
      How heavy the world weighs
      When one must carry the world
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      I’m falling down
      On and on and on down
      I’m falling down
      On and on
      I fall down
      I fall down
      When you’re not around
      I fall
      On and on and on down
      I fall down
      On and on and on
      On and on and on
      On and on and on down
      I fall down
      I fall down
      How heavy the world weighs
      How heavy the world weighs
