Additional Information
Info found on Wikipedia:
“The Marked were a Gothic/New Wave band which formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1985, but later on moved to Florida with the hopes of attaining a bigger fan base. The band’s name was obtained from Billy Corgan and Ron Roesing’s portwine birthmarks. The band were reported to have played around 20 shows in and around St. Petersburg, Florida before Dale eventually left after a small show, later Ron and Billy decided to return to Chicago. The original band members were Billy Corgan (Vocals/Guitar/Bass), Dale Meiners (Vocals/Bass) and Ron Roesing (Drums). In 1986 Dale left the band and was replaced by Len Ayala. Len left the band shortly after and was replaced in 1988 by guitarist James Iha with Billy taking up the bass position. The Marked then became The Smashing Pumpkins.”

I walk the wall behind you
I walk the wall
I walk the wall behind you
I walk the wall
I stare at you through a shattered window
When you walked down my street
I always think of you when I’m standing alone
But we know that I shouldn’t think like that
Fade on violet
Fade on violet
Well I thought to myself
I’ve always waited for you
but then I know, you’d never look again
When I was standing on the street corner
In my paisley mind
I always dream about you
Fade on violet
In my street car named desire
It’s my only fire
Like a black and white movie of Marlon Brando
With my hands in my pockets
Well I’d die for you in a day
And I’d move to the line
I’d drop in my hole
And wait for you to take my hand
Fade on violet
Fade on violet
On every crease
That bears your name
I can’t wait to tell everybody
It’s not the same
And the crescent moon that waits for you far above
This is why they’ll die soon at home
To the hole below
Fade on violet
Fade on violet
Fade on violet
You danced in the rain
Hopeless ground
I hate my pain
As you face dances - 5 . Prelude/Death Of A Mind

I want to understand you
But you say no
I want to see inside you
But you won’t let anyone go
Through your stained glass window
You’re all sealed off
I can’t see in
At any cost
Everybody’s on the outside looking in
At your stained glass window
It’s all messed up
I can look but can’t touch
What’s going on here
Do you really have something to hide
I want to understand you
But you say no
I want to dig inside you
But you won’t let anyone go
Through your stained glass window

I cannot see you
Or feel you
When you are near

Or feel you

Sat ?

Sat in ?

Into a storm
I cannot see you
Or feel you
When you’re near

Everything that you try is such a happy trip
Slipping on a voodoo smile
And dressed so hoodoo ripped
Put it in paper people
And poison, potent poison
The run to the bridge
Was so out of season
Well
A love potion
That moves through on his position
Throw caution into deaf wind
That expired emotion
Who would you?
Who would you serve?
Who would you?
Who would you?
Dali holds the hand of god
Well
Dali holds the hand of god
People die with every notion
But the poison was in your hand
But no, no regrets you
Pleasant smile
Twisted by death
Anyone who will swallow it whole
Swallow it whole
It whole
Swallow it whole
Swallow
We dance to drums
Like the fire seems starts to crackle
Sweet voices stand through these eyes
Position where it’s no struggle
? want to scream
Fix her like putty that rolls
What you seek
I just take your hand
? your smile
?
Straight at yourself for more
Swallow it whole
Swallow it whole
?
?
Just mould like putty
Through the hands of god
I held the hand of god
I heard him say
Send these to ?
? god to do with you
No time to serve this time
No time to serve this time
No time to serve this time
Dali holds the hand of god
Say
Dali holds the hand of god
Dali holds the hand of god

Written in the sand
Always scrawled in foreign hand
The words of your future
And the faces of your past
Raising up in shadow
Hidden in coral eyes
Filing whirling dervish
Untold the secret lies
The fire that burns inside you
Is lit as eternal flame
Desire to surround you
Puppets playing a mystic game
Always filled with confusion
You move along in song
Steps in the process
We belong
In trance
Well the caretaker reached in his pocket
And revealed a timeless watch
The rabbit sang Beatle tunes
Whispering out of time
We slip down peppermint stick
And into an ancient candy
Walking along coffee air
Taking our chances in the water
The fire that burns inside you
Is lit as eternal flame
Desire to surround you
Puppets playing a mystic game
Always filled with confusion
You move along in song
Steps in the process
We belong
In trance
The fire that burns inside you
Is lit as eternal flame
Desire to surround you
Puppets playing a mystic game
Always filled with confusion
You move along in song
Steps in the process
We belong
In trance
In trance

Lyrics
I’m tired of living a lie
Where black turns to grey
Confused and alone
I’m so, so scared
I’ve tried living a lie
On one side of the wall
But things seem confused
On the other side
Listen to the world
It speaks in tongues
Listen to the world
You will find
They all stood still
Stood still
Stood still
I couldn’t seem to be
Another broken world
Time has left me die
I’m so, so alone
I wouldn’t dare to cry
Another day
I feel clicks behind
I’m so, so scared
Listen to the world
It knows your name
Listen to the world
That you will find
They all stood still
I’m tired of living a lie
I’m tired of living a lie
I’m so tired of living a lie
Near me
They all stood still
Be a lie
We all stood still
Be a lie
Near me
Near me
Be a lie - 14 . Cristina

[that sounds good]
You’re always walking around
With your head in the clouds
My little jealous game
Sent you clutching again
We were wrapped up inside
Inside of you every day
But I’ll never get out
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
You say I’m different now
‘Cause you know I’m the same
Like a dirty swimming pool
Where the water is drained
We were wrapped up inside
Inside of you every day
Now I’m shaking all over
On the floor in the rain
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
I’ve seen your eyes
And I know that you’re lying
Walking the streets
And it’s you I’m denying
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina
Because of Cristina - 15 . A Day At The Circus

Lyrics
If you want me in you can count me out
You should see my mettle
If you want perfect look elsewhere
You and i born to wear
I’ve got my heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
Got heart in my hand
Heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
It’s easy to vision it now
Me alone on the ground
Ripped and kicked and tricked to this
Sort of thing from where i sit
I’ve got heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
Got my heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
I’ve got my heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
Got my heart in my hand
Heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
If you want me in you can count me out
Well you should see my doubt
I’ve got my heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
Heart in my hand
My heart in my hand
Heart in my hand for you
Ripped and kicked and sheared to this

All right
Now dig this, baby
You don’t care for me
I don’t care about that
You got a new fool, ha
I like it like that
I have only got a burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah
You say your mama ain’t home
It ain’t my concern
You said play with me
And you wanna burn
I have only got a burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand
Let me stand
Let me stand
Let me stand
Move over, rover
And let Fred take over
