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 - 2 . Owata
Lyrics
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 - 3 . Sunkissed

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 - 5 . Mayonaise

Lyrics
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
We’ll try and ease the pain
But somehow we’ll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I’m missing
All our time can’t be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I’ll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will - 6 . Tonight, Tonight

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

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
- 8 . G.L.O.W.
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? - 9 . Siva

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
- 10 . Speed Kills
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
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 - 13 . -stage banter-

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
- 15 . Disarm
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 - 16 . Today
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 - 17 . Bullet With Butterfly Wings

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 - 18 . As Rome Burns
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 - 19 . Heavy Metal Machine

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 - 20 . Glass’ Theme
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 - 21 . The March Hare
Lyrics
The march hare ambles on
Darting to and fro
Finds his breath for free
A silver fox breaking clocks
Counting back from 10
Until it ends with me
As I’m swinging from the trees
Can a mirror rescue me?
The march hare blows his horn
His 19 wives lend ear
To a storm come clear
A whisker here
A scabbard there
The march hare appears
To understand what’s next
And he’s pulling on my soul
Just like an overcoat painted red
His faith somewhere
His faith somewhere
His faith somewhere for (?)
Whatever will be will be again
Whatever will be will be again
Whatever will be will be again
Whatever will be will be again
Oh swing low bandalier
Your coins are worthless here
For there’s no here to leave - 22 . We Only Come Out At Night

We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, you’ll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I’ll pretend to know the way
Thru the empty space
Thru the secret places of the heart
We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night
I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I’m on my own, I’m on my own to see the ways
That I can’t help the days, you will make it home o.k
I know you can, and you can
We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, you’ll pretend to know that
There’s an end, that there’s an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?
We only come out at night

Lyrics
Jesus loves the little children
All the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Everything is beautiful
In its’ own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter’s day
Everybody’s beautiful
In their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way
There is none so blind
That is he who will not see
We must not close our minds
We must let our thought be free
For every hour that passes by
You know the world
Gets a little bit older
It’s time to realize
That beauty lies
In the eyes of the beholder
Everything is beautiful
In its’ own way
Like a starry summer nights
Or a snow covered winter’s day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody’s beautiful
In their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way
We shouldn’t care
About the length of his hair
Or the color of his skin
Don’t worry about
what shows from without
but the love that lives within
We’re gonna get it all together now
Everything gonna work out fine
Just take a little time
to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind
Everything is beautiful
In its’ own way
Like a starry summer nights
Or a snow covered winter’s day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody’s beautiful
In their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way
One more time
Everything is beautiful
In its’ own way
Like a starry summer nights
