Everybody come and clap your hands

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
MORE +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
- 4 . 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? - 5 . Siva

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
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 - 7 . Mayonaise

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 - 8 . Tonight, Tonight

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
- 9 . 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

A livewire moves slow
A transformer always knows
The score is four
Leaves you hanging on the floor
For more and less and more of the blame
And she’s tired
And she’s sick of the same old shit
It’s just more of the same old same
I know she wants more and more and more to witness
To lay down and bear true
A cherry onion firefly
Tastes sweet and white
As you are blue
Knows just what she wants to do
With you below the silver skies
Don’t hate her because she’s undecided
And she’s tired
And she’s sick of the same old shit
It’s just more of the same old same
I know she wants more and more and more to stomach
In honor of her youth
She’s not sorry she’s happy
Sorry she’s happy
She’s not sorry she’s happy
Sorry she’s happy as a turtle
She’s a real live transformer

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

Lyrics
Mother I’m tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go
Fallin’ with the leaves
Fallin’ out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Mother I’ve tried
Wasting my life
I haven’t given up, I lie
To make you so proud in my eyes
Fallin’ out of sleep
Crawlin’ over me
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Tuesdays come and gone
Restless still I drive
Try to leave it all behind
Fallin’, fallin’ out of sleep
Fallin’, fallin’ with the leaves
I got crawlin’, crawlin’ over me
Once upon a time in my life…
I went falling
Mother I hope you know
That I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother’s tears grown cold
- 14 . Again, Again, Again
Lyrics
I love you, I don’t even care
If it takes my life, or heaven unaware
Sin for sin, I’ve let you in, and still I’m caught
So put my heart, on your chopping block
And feed me fire, but don’t let go!
Hey don’t let go!, don’t let go
Again, again, again
When will I see you again?
Before the world should end, when will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
Again…
Struck deeply, some never heal
Caught beyond a prism, I conceal
Judgement day, comes every day to us all
So fall in love, oh if you must!
But don’t let go! Hey don’t let go!
Don’t let go
Again, again, again
When will I see you again?
Before the world should end, when will I see you again?
It never stops the starting up
The atrophy, the cruel enough
The vision of oblivion, and when it ends it all begins
To start again and then you’re in
So grab my hand should you believe, there’s a destiny
When will I see you again? when will I see you?
Again, again, again
When will I see you again?
Before the world should end, when will I see you?
Again… - 15 . The Rose March

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

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

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

Send a heartbeat to the void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintigrate
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There’s no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are?
And have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you’re so strange?
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in its pain

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

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 glass
Shattering last

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 - 22 . We Only Come Out At Night

We only come out at night

And once again, I’ll pretend to know the way

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

We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night

It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right

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
