Additional Information

The only way to recognize this CD release being a promo is looking closely at the front artwork, it has the following text printed in gold on there:

The “other code” mentioned above comes from the sticker on front.

      Additional Info: 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?
