      Lyrics

      Mama, you’re on my mind
      A stitch upon my coda
      Play on the world’s grand design
      I think you know
      I think you’re sure that you know that
      Butterflies don’t get old
      And I don’t get so young anymore
      What a shame
      The big ideas
      And lost ideals, it’s a show
      I must appear in control
      Mama
      Mama
      The show at all
      They’re burning books outside of
      What was it that you said?
      And to the walls
      Let the spirit gather up and
      Set us a flame for
      Year to year, there’s no one here but us
      What I’m ask
      The ears to the ground and the fingers on the pulse of the pain
      Oh it’s worse than change
      Oh what do they want with us
      Oh mama
      Mama
      What is it that they want with us and all of our abuse
      Oh what’s the use to protect
      Mama, is only you
      You’re a dancer from the mirrors of
      Lie and with restraint
      This quiet warmth
      I’ve got my faith restored by the sway of the trees
      That sway in time to one more rhyme of my curse
      But what it’s worth
      I count you out and still you count me in
      To answer your final bell
      Mama
      Mama
      But why do they care about us
      Mama
      Mama
      They knock and knock
      But I don’t answer the door
      Mama
      Mama
      Cuz I’m bored and we’re not alone

      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

      Lyrics

      Hold silent

      You were my violence stuck

      In my life

      Just for the moment

      And let me under you

      So you can die

      I was alive

      I was alive

      In my body

      You’ll never find me

      You’ll never pull me out

      In my body

      The lonely creatures

      The lonely creatures scream

      June’s offcast

      Left hiding, I form the screams

      Burned alive

      Wasted sunsets

      Haunting my torment

      Right through my clothes

      In my body

      You’ll never find me

      You’ll never pull me out

      I was alive

      I was alive

      In my body

      You’ll never find me

      You’ll never pull me out

      In my body

      The lonely creatures

      The lonely creatures scream

      In my body

      In my body

      In my body, yeah

      In my body

      In my body

      In my body, yeah

      In my body

      In my body

      In my body, yeah

      Lyrics

      Unleash the armageddon
      So all the children go to heaven
      I sit by quiet still
      With their pictures on my eyes
      You’ll draw the guns you’re given
      Write down the words as written
      And never disturb the presence
      Of resurrection crutch
      And it’s about time
      It’s about drawing near
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Descend the darkened stairways
      Make hate with plastic playmates
      And fire out remaining traces
      Of your self esteem
      Mainline the deepest secrets
      Lick clean the dirty fingers
      I am a stranger to you
      As you are to yourself
      And it’s about time
      It’s about fear
      Blue skies bring tears
      Don’t you want me (don’t want you)
      As I awake the city sight
      We’ll watch the seasons die
      Blue skies bring tears
      Take me inside your body
      Blue skies bring tears
      Cover me with your soul
      Blue skies bring tears
      To the darkest recess
      Blue skies bring tears
      Is where I wish to go
      Blue skies bring tears
      You are the sweetest flower
      Blue skies bring tears
      That I have ever devoured
      Blue skies bring tears
      I ask for nothing given
      Blue skies bring tears
      For nothing in return
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears

      Additional Info:

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “In the beginning, before it went disco, that one was very Morricone and kinda bad.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      “I started the song on an acoustic guitar, and I just loved something about hearing the words ‘God and Country’ coming out of my mouth because I’m just not that patriotic. It was like our ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.’ So I have this cheap synthesizer that is our go-to instrument when we don’t know what to do, and I started playing the chords and pushing different buttons and ultimately settled on a dance rhythm. What makes the song even more bizarre is that you have a sort of political message to a disco beat--thanks to Roy who mixed it like an old Donna Summer dance track. I told him the bass was just too loud and he gave me a face like I was taking away his toy. Of course, Roy was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I want to live for god and country
      I want to give for god and country
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for what you’ve done
      I can’t help what I divide in you
      For god and country I’ll fight
      For god and country I’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms for god and country
      I want to live where no one’s watching my way home
      I want to give until I’m bursting with unknown
      It’s too late for some
      It’s too late for everyone
      I can’t help what I destroy in you
      Well who needs this anymore?
      C’mon make it so
      That’s when they build their cross of death
      You won’t build your own
      It’s time to wake up!
      It’s time to wake up for good
      I can’t help you though I should
      For god and country we’ll fight
      For god and country we’ll die
      For god and country my soul is so alive
      My soul is so alive
      Lay down your arms to me
      Lay down your arms For god and country
      You can’t deny god and country
      We’re fighting for our lives
      You can’t deny god and country
      Our souls are so aligned
      In this time of god and country
      We’ll take you on our side
      It’s alright
      My soul is so alive
      With god and night
      With god and country
      My soul is so alive

      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

      Lyrics

      Peace and love aren’t fair
      When you’re stuck out there
      Standing on your own
      Trying to catch a wave
      Even though I will
      Even if I won’t
      Even when I signal that we’d get back home
      Ask me what to say
      I’ll point to the sky
      Ask me what I need to tell you a lie
      Just ask me what I need to tell you all a lie
      There’s a crowd outside
      Calling for our lives
      Peace and love, they’re here
      Living in an old school bus
      Ask me where I think
      I’ll say I have to go
      Is it this in me that strikes your side so bold
      Ask me for tonight
      I’ll pat you on your back
      And find a way to one day pay you all right back
      I’ll find a way to pay you all soul right back
      Peace and love ain’t fair
      When you’re caught on fire
      A bird’s nest in my hair
      Fourteen missiles in my gut
      So ask me what I think
      I’ll tell you I owe no one
      And leave without another peep or a lie
      Waving to that crowd
      Calling for my neck
      But tell you what I need to tell you the truth
      Gonna tell you what I need to tell you the truth
      In the redwood pines
      They stole out my spine
      In this town called zen
      I’m asking where it went
      The joke about the fog
      The one about your dog
      The one about where we all seem to get along
      Lifted from the mines
      And sifted through my mouth
      A blessing so you’ll never have to dig back down
      Blessings so you’ll never have to dig back down
      Supposing I admit defeat
      Fearing what comes next
      At my master’s feet
      On the mount of Lazarus
      Ask me what to do
      I’ll just point to you
      And ask you what I need to tell you all the truth
      Take this second look
      Imagine what’s been robbed
      Imagine if we wanted we’d all get along
      Imagine if we wanted we’d all get along

      Lyrics

      And if I fall into you all

      Will my rain cease and dissolve

      Some come to harm, others to grace

      So let my friends fly under these wings

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      We’re giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up to the earth

      Giving it up from our room

      Know when there’s nowhere to run

      Know when there’s not much to lose

      Sometimes it seems so long

      Since you had a chance to refuse

      We built a fire

      Winterlong

      Transform to iron

      Winterlong

      I was the first one

      I was the last one to be strong

      And if I fall into you all

      Will the silence shatter and stall

      Some feel movement, others stand still

      So let the moment become my will

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      We’re giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up to the earth

      Giving it up from our rooms

      Know when there’s nowhere to run

      Know when there’s not much to lose

      So why does it take so long

      To find out who is who

      We built a fire

      Winterlong

      Transform to iron

      Winterlong

      I was the first one

      I was the last one to be strong

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      Giving it up to the moon

      We’re giving it up the the earth

      Giving it up from your room

      We’re giving it up to the sun

      Giving it up to the moon

      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

      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

      What is this writing in between us?
      What is the question posed?
      Where is this violence i sense creeping?
      What is your secret code?
      I wanna know!
      Why are the pipers calling towards us?
      Where are the makeshifts shown?
      Why are you smiling daggers at me?
      Do you know it’s far too cold…
      It’s the song I sing.
      It’s the song I sing.
      I’m forming the tones
      Smokerings around the square,
      I’m telling the throne
      There is a place you’ll explode
      And I’m getting close…
      To an answer,
      To my questions
      To myself
      Notions are wrong,
      What does a narcisist (sting?) you follow
      When I’m laying low
      Where must the cabins reap for nothing?
      And must the depths of hell be neatly sewn?
      I have to know…
      Why are the crows crowing boldly?
      I found there is a link in hell,
      While the young men know not arising
      What is the unknown key to your lost soul?
      I got to know…
      I race uptown,
      Bleeding like some kind of bitch,
      I’m down on my knees
      Digging a new kinda ditch,
      Grace don’t fit in words,
      But no answers to my question…
      It’s a song I sing,
      It’s a song I sing,
      Float to town…
      (one two three),
      I follow the town to let me common there (?)
      The last nonsense(?) from your face,
      A total witch
      Must float upstream
      While I soak in like the sweet dream,
      What is this blood you drink like wine for?
      Are you not still breaking in?
      What does the face of death you cut say
      When it comes to tuck you in?
      It’s the song I sing…
      It’s the song I sing,
      It’s the song I sing,
      Fighting for the spoils of madness
      What are these sores you lick
      That are ice cream?
      You had the edge,
      You had the past,
      For an instance there,
      Bracing for…
      It’s the song I sing,
      It’s the song I sing
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,
      I don’t want this song,
      I keep telling you,
      I keep telling you,

      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

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “I had this mellow guitar riff that was very simple--almost a ballad-- and we kept messing around with it. And one day, we thought, ‘What if we played it really loud.’ And that was it. Suddenly it transformed into this beastly thing.” Billy Corgan

      “We’ve learned a lot of lessons over the years about not taking songs at face value when they emerge. I think that’s something Flood taught us along the way. ‘Doomsday Clock’ started off almost a folk calypso number and it turned into this . . . Apocalypso. We’re believers that a good song is a good song whether it’s played on an electric guitar or a zither.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Is everyone afraid?
      Is everyone ashamed?
      They’re running towards their holes, to find out
      Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
      A message to our friends to get out
      There’s wages on this fear
      Oh so clear
      Depends on what you’ll pay to hear
      They’re bound to kill us all
      In whitewashed halls
      Their jackals lick their paws
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      Not broken
      I love life every day
      In each and every way
      Kafka would be proud, to find out
      I’m certain of the end
      It’s the means that has me spooked
      It takes an unknown truth to get out
      I’m guessing I’m born free, silly me
      I was meant to beg from my knees
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days when will they ever stop?
      We gotta dig in, gas masks on
      Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
      If this is living?
      Sakes alive!
      Well then they can’t win
      No one survives
      Is everyone afraid?
      You should be ashamed
      Apocalyptic screams
      Mean nothing to the dead
      Kissing that ‘ol sun
      To know all there is
      Come on, last call
      You should want it all
      Ah, it’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This ticking in my heart
      Is everyone afraid?

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That was one of the original riffs that I brought from Chicago when we went to Scottsdale. The problem with a song like that is you’ve got this great riff and then that’s all you’ve got. The riff comes in two minutes. Then you take weeks out of your life being a slave to that riff. We really have a love-hate relationship with the riff songs.” Billy Corgan “The real problem is after that great riff, you need another great riff.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      C’mon let’s go

      I’ll find you waiting there

      Beyond their violence dared

      A light around your soul

      You could be my friend

      Lovely and different

      Crushing up the stars above us

      A guarantee to spoil our rot

      Tears were once my only way back home

      Someone speaks and instantly I’m cold

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Beyond the great unknown

      Beyond their punched-up skulls

      To die upon this road

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Anesthetized I’m hollow

      Playing to the dark back row

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      C’mon let’s go

      Assimilate, it’s all been staged

      I’ve made mistakes, they penetrate

      They’re gonna take, it’s all the same

      They cannot wait, their love spells hate

      I wanna love

      I wanna love

      I’m pushing back

      I’m serpentine

      I’m pushing back

      Lord save me

      With need

      Lord walk me home

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon, c’mon let’s go

      Tears were once my only way back home

      Someone weeps and instantly I’m thrown

      C’mon let’s go

      C’mon let’s go

      Go

      Lyrics

      Faith lies in
      The ways of sin
      I chased the charmed
      But I don’t want them anymore
      And in their eyes I was alive
      A fool’s disguise
      Take me away from you
      Shame my tongue
      Fat with promise all along
      But when I woke up from that sleep
      I was happier than I’d ever been
      When you decide
      That your life is a prize
      Renew and revive
      It’s alright honey
      It’s alright, yeah
      Happiness will make you wonder
      Will I feel OK?
      It scares the disenchanted
      Far away
      Yeah I want something new
      But what am I supposed to do about you
      Yeah I love you, it’s true
      Life’s a bummer
      When you’re a hummer
      Life’s a drag
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Do you feel
      Love is real?

      Lyrics

      To the center of the earth
      Or anywhere god decides
      Full of fever pulling forth
      We hear our call as all
      And to the center of the earth
      As if written in
      And dna is reaching out
      To your frequency
      I want to live
      And don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      All in prayer
      Prayer in all
      All are scared
      Scared of all
      Black rooms are calling
      To men in leather coats
      White labs are cooking
      Up the silver ghost
      The glass migrates under
      Her translucent skin
      And all the spiders wonder
      What we’ve got us in
      All is you
      You are all
      All with you
      You in all
      I want to live
      I don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      So, it’s all very obtuse
      Because it’s all like, like, I don’t know
      So, like, I started thinking
      That everything I operate on
      Is based on what I believe god was telling me to do
      God could be my intuition or whatever
      But I always assume
      I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of god
      Then I started thinking
      What if I’m insane
      So I’m operating on the premise
      That I’m hearing the voice of god
      Or what I perceive to be god speaking to me
      Or through me
      But maybe I’m completely in…
      So all my…
      Demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
      My, my..
      Thinking that my life has importance
      My, my, my thought of it
      And the fact that I believe that I’m following my intuition
      Which in and of itself may be completely false
      So then I started freaking out thinking…
      Of itself may be completely false
      And again this creature that believes that he’s acting upon
      Heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he’s totally rampant
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      So beats the final coda
      Of our vinyl storm
      One more cherry cola
      To lift up her dead arms
      A dream of soft focus sunsets
      Filters through the din
      We are losing contact
      As she dials it in
      She can hear glass calling
      Or is it someone that looks like him
      She eyes TV reflection
      And nods a knowing look
      She says it doesn’t matter
      She’d never liked her looks
      I have seen a thousand fractures
      I have seen everything
      Cause knowing is its own answer
      Love something in a book
      There’s not much left to ponder
      Not much left to cook
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders, oh

      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

      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

      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

      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

      Flung wide

      The salutations

      The deep curse

      And the shutters close

      A spring house

      In the making

      On good earth

      Of my many’d souls in my soul

      And fears I don’t know

      I hear there’s a march we should go

      Lost on this road

      Are there any real Sundays to find?

      Unbound

      On the rising

      The pell mell

      Of the miser kings

      As you saw what I’m seeing

      Oh you’d thaw from the fires

      There’s pace in your gait

      And wake in your straights

      I ache from the center out

      Lost on this road are there any real Sundays to find?

      Lost on this road are there any real souls?

      Don’t hear what I hear

      Don’t see what I see

      Don’t leave what I must leave behind

      Lost on this road are there any real Sundays to find?

      This stop

      I am hunger

      The deep well

      Of a stranger held

      And this heart a lonely hunter now

      I’m lost on this road are there any real Sundays to find?

      I’m lost on this road

      Are there any real souls?

      Are there any real souls to find?

      Are there any real souls to find?

      Lyrics

      I’m never coming back
      I’m never giving in
      I’ll never be the shine in your spit
      I disconnect the act
      I disconnect the dots
      I disconnect the me in me
      And you’re mistaken, it’s you that’s faking
      Living and breathing and dying too
      This message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool
      You can’t bring me back, you can’t bring me back
      Cause I give it all back to you
      Thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks
      Wreak their havoc upon this world
      The disenchanted, the romantics,
      The body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole
      Destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart
      And you, you make me so I need to disconnect
      And you make it so real
      I don’t need you love to disconnect
      To runaround kids in get-go cars
      With Vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
      Galaxies full of nobodies
      Giving us the farewell runarounds
      I took a virgin Mary ax to his sweet baby Jane,
      Lost my innocence to a no good girl,
      Scratch my face with anvil hands,
      And coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
      And I give it all back to you
      No way, I don’t need it, I don’t need your love to disconnect
      And you make it, so real, I don’t need your love to disconnect
      No way to disconnect
      And you make it so real
      I don’t need your love to disconnect
      No way to disconnect
