      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

      Nothing left to say
      And all I’ve left to do
      Is run away
      From you
      And she led me on, down
      With secrets I can’t keep
      Close your eyes and sleep
      Don’t wait up for me
      Hush now don’t you speak
      To me
      Wrapped my hurt in you
      And took my shelter in that pain
      The opiate of blame
      Is your broken heart, your heart
      So now I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      I’ll betray my tears
      To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
      One last kiss for me…yeah
      One last kiss good night
      Didn’t want to lose you once again
      Didn’t want to be your friend
      Fulfilled a promise made of tin
      And crawled back to you
      I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      I’ll betray myself
      To anyone, lost, anyone but you
      So let the sadness come again
      On that you can depend on me, yeah
      Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
      When god sleeps in bliss
      And I’m all by myself
      As I’ve always felt
      And I’ll betray myself
      To anyone

      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

      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

      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

      This is a song for a son
      This is a song for a sailor
      The son I never had
      This is a song for a kid
      This is a song for a tailor
      Who stitched up my old heart
      Who stitched up my old heart
      This is a song for a dog
      This is a song for a blown-out bird
      The kind that don’t return to the nest
      This is a song for a star
      This is a song for a space invader
      Who flew into the sun
      Never to return
      Never to return
      And I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      I am one of many more
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      This is a song for a son
      This is a song for a sailor
      The best I ever had
      He sailed without a map
      This is a song for that kid
      This is a song for that tailor
      Who stitched up my old heart
      Who stitched up my old heart
      And broke it all apart
      I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      I am one of many more
      Many more to come
      Many more to come
      You daughters of the revolution
      Carry back your sons
      Carry them back home
      You daughters of the revolution
      Carry back your sons
      Carry them back home
      And I, I am one of many
      Many more to come
      Many more to come

      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

      He’s a real nowhere man
      Sitting in his Nowhere Land
      Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
      Doesn’t have a point of view
      Knows not where he’s going to
      Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
      Nowhere Man please listen
      You don’t know what you’re missing
      Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
      He’s as blind as he can be
      Just sees what he wants to see
      Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
      Nowhere Man, don’t worry
      Take your time, don’t hurry
      Leave it all till somebody else
      Lends you a hand
      Doesn’t have a point of view
      Knows not where he’s going to
      Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
      Nowhere Man please listen
      you don’t know what you’re missing
      Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
      He’s a real Nowhere Man
      Sitting in his Nowhere Land

      Lyrics

      I used to know you
      I used to care
      I used to know you
      Are you still there?
      I won’t touch you
      I won’t feel you
      I won’t hear you
      I won’t see you
      I used to know you
      Are you still there?
      I used to know you
      I used to care
      It goes far and wide
      It’s a cruel device
      I cannot drive
      You from my mind
      I won’t reach out
      I won’t strike in
      I won’t dream about
      I won’t parse the thought
      I used to know you
      I used to care
      I used to know you
      Are you still there?
      I jumped from the top
      And fell right back and I
      Hit the ground running scared
      I swam to the bottom of the sea
      And I asked around for someone
      Who might know me
      Ain’t it sad when your choices
      Are vegas and your friends
      99 floors
      And still nowhere to go
      99 floors
      And still nowhere to roam
      A punch to the head
      I passed right out and an
      Impotent stood dumbstruck
      And stared
      Armed once again by the fist of fate
      I wait for his resurrection home
      Ain’t it sad when your choices
      Are vices or advice
      It’s eleven o’clock
      And don’t that make you bawl
      It’s eleven o’clock
      And don’t ya make it bawl
      Evil, ailing
      Feeling oh so low
      I’m slow to anger
      Wonder where I could
      Ever go
      You know I’d have to forget
      It goes far and wide
      It’s a cruel device
      I cannot drive
      You from my mind

      Ride off the silverscreen
      Into a moonbeam
      To the alien side
      Catch heck with Jesus
      The stars beneath us
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Cool in your pocket
      You can’t unlock this night
      Cool in your pocket
      You can’t unlock it
      You can’t help but decide it’s alright
      Oh what a beautiful sight you are to me
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Cool in your pocket
      Rocks for your rocket ride
      Cool in your pocket
      Pleasure or prophet
      You can’t stop this night outside
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Side up the revelry
      Roll out the cavalry
      Into the waters we dive
      Shimmers of the cosmos
      Ripple the utmost
      Of the quivering tide
      Locks for your locket
      You can’t unlock his fist
      Rocks for your rocket
      You can’t unlock his shocks
      For your socket eyes that shine
      Oh what a beautiful sight you are to me
      Oh what a beautiful night
      Night, night
      What a beautiful night
      Oh California
      Look what you’ve done
      Look what you’ve done to me
      Oh Chicago
      I’m coming home
      I’m coming home to you

      Lyrics

      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
      Till the landslide brought it down
      Mirror in the sky, what is love
      Can the child within my heart rise above
      Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
      Can I handle the seasons of my life
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      I’m getting older too
      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill

      Lyrics

      Disarm you with a smile
      And cut you like you want me to
      Cut that little child
      Inside of me and such a part of you
      Ooh, the years burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my choice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      Disarm you with a smile
      And leave you like they left me here
      To wither in denial
      The bitterness of one who’s left alone
      Ooh, the years burn
      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my voice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you

      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

      Lyrics

      Cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need
      Come into my life forever
      The crumbled cities stand as known
      Of the sights you have been shown
      Of the hurt you call your own
      Love is suicide
      The empty bodies stand at rest
      Casualties of their own flesh
      Afflicted by their dispossession
      But no bodies ever knew
      Nobody’s
      No bodies felt like you
      Nobody’s
      Love is suicide
      Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
      You can’t help deny forever
      The tragedies reside in you
      The secret sights hide in you
      The lonely nights divide you in two
      All my blisters now revealed
      In the darkness of my dreams
      In the spaces in between us
      But no bodies ever knew
      Nobody’s
      No bodies felt like you
      Nobody’s
      Love is suicide

      Lyrics

      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

      Lyrics

      Shattering fast
      I’m glass, I’m glass
      I’m shattering fast
      I’m glass, I’m glass
      I’m shattering, shattering
      Glass, glass, glass
      I’m shattering fast
      I’m glass, I’m glass
      I’ve got a lot of tears
      In a blood-stained jar
      It’s been a real long time
      Since I walked the fine line
      You put up the walls
      You put up the walls
      And hold all my calls
      I’ll be by the pool
      Won’t you please
      Worship me
      And won’t you love
      What I adore
      All alone
      In my soul
      I betrayed
      Rock and roll
      Rock and roll
      Rock and roll
      Rock and roll
      Rock and roll
      Everybody knows I’m last, I’m last
      And everybody knows I’m fast, I’m fast
      I’m shattering, shattering
      Glass, glass, glass
      I’m shattering fast
      I’m glass, I’m glass
      You put up the walls
      And hold all my calls
      ‘Cause I’ll be by the pool
      Playing with my guns
      ‘Cause there’s nowhere to run
      ‘Cause I’m the one you love now
      Staying after school
      Breaking all your rules
      Shattering fast
      Shattering glass
      Shattering last
      I’m shattering glass

      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

      Lyrics

      Like the sun, yeah, I am one
      Raising forth when I’m done
      So high in the sky
      And we’d say what we’d say
      And we’d do as we please
      And we’d break every rule
      On our knees
      Like the sun, yeah, I am one
      Raising forth when I’m done
      What you wait for in the sky, high, up high
      And we’d break every rule
      And we’d do as we please
      And we’d take what we want
      On our knees
