To Sheila
(Corgan)twilight fades through blistered avalon
the sky's cruel torch on aching autobahn
into the uncertain divine
we scream into the last divide
you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real
sheila rides on crashing nightingale
intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
with blushing brilliance alive
because it's time to arrive
you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
discard my friends to change the scenery
it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace
a summer storm graces all of me
highway warm sing silent poetry
I could bring you the light
and take you home into the night
you make me real / lately I just can't seem to believe
you make me real / discard my friends to change the scenery
strong as I feel / it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
you make me real / but now it's just a matter of grace
Ava Adore
(Corgan)it's you that I adore
you will always be my whore
you'll be a mother to my child
and a child to my heart
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
without you there aren't reasons left to find
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
you'll be a lover in my bed
and a gun to my head
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
drinking mercury to the mystery
of all that you should ever leave behind
in time
in you I see dirty
in you I count stars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god
in you I feel so hungry
in you I crash cars
we must never be apart
drinking mercury to the mystery
of all that you should ever seek to find
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
in time
we must never be apart
and you'll always be my whore
cause you're the one that I adore
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
in you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
in you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
we must never be apart
Perfect
(Corgan)I know
we're just like old friends
we just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are
reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel
that something has been lost
but please
you know you're just like me
next time
I promise we'll be perfect
perfect
perfect
strangers down the line
lovers out of time
memories unwind
so far I still know who you are
but now I wonder who I was
angel
you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
but the letters have been sent on
so please
you always were so free
you'll see
I promise we'll be perfect
perfect
perfect
strangers down the line
strangers on the street
lovers while we sleep
perfect
you know this has to be
we always were so free
we promised that we'd be
perfect
Daphne Descends
(Corgan)with the sugar sickness
you spy the kidnap kid
who kids you to oblivion
it's the perfect hassle
for the perfumed kiss
he makes you miss him more than home
you love him
you love him more than this
you love him
and you cannot, you can't resist
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else
past sidewalk ashes
a last lovers arc
you come apart to intertwine
it was all so simple
as you watched him move
across the darkness in your room
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else
and to the winding vines
the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars
into the shadow mind
will you lose him then
on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else
you love him
you love him more than this
you love him
and you cannot, you can't resist
you love him
Once Upon A Time
(Corgan)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 leves
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
Tear
(Corgan)the lights came on fast
lost in motorcrash
gone in a flash unreal
but you knew all along
you laugh the light I sing the songs
to watch you numb
I saw you there
you were on your way
you held the rain
and for the first time heaven seemed insane
cause heaven is to blame
for taking you away
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't lose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you know the things that I can't do?
where is your heart?
where is your heart gone to?
tear me apart
tear me apart from you
you laugh the light I cry the wound
in grey afternoons
I saw you there
you were on your way
you kissed me cold
and for the first time heaven seemed insane
for taking you away
cause heaven is to blame
for taking you away
the lights came to pass
dead opera motorcrash
gone in a flash unreal
in nitrous overcast
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't choose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you know the things that I can't lose?
tear me apart
tear me apart from you
where is your heart?
where has your heart run to?
Crestfallen
(Corgan)who am I
to need you when I'm down
and where are you
when I need you around
your life is not your own
and all I ask you is for another chance
another way around you
to live by circumstance
once again
who am I to need you now
to ask you why, to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
and you may go
but I know you won't leave
too many years
built into memories
your life is not your own
who am I to need you now
to ask you why, to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
who am I to you?
along the way I lost my faith
and as you were you'll be again
to mold like clay, to break like dirt
to tear me up in your sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
who am I?
Appels + Oranjes
(Corgan)what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the wind refused to blow?
what if the seas refused to wave?
what if the world refused its turn?
what if the stars would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
what if the silence let you dream?
what if the air could let you breathe?
what if the words would bring you here?
what if this sound could bring you peace?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
digging for the feel of something new
what if what is isn't you?
what are you gonna do?
it came from your thoughts
your dreams and visions
ripped up from your weeks
and indecisions
what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the world refused to turn?
what if the clocks would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you gonna do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to choose?
the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to lose?
the thoughts you cannot use
what are you gonna do?
Pug
(Corgan)kiss and kill me sweetly
come and drive me home
drag the miles in me
I am yours alone
inside where it's warm
wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into you
desire me so deeply
drain and kick me hard
whisper secrets for me
try to go too far
inside where it's warm
wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into...
please don't change
please don't change at all
bring your rain
bring your rain to fall
inside where it's warm
wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into you
come and kiss me sweetly
ride the telephone
drag the miles to me
I am yours alone
yours alone
yours alone on the telephone
yours alone looking for a kiss kiss
yours alone
The Tale Of Dusty and Pistol Pete
Dusty screams through doorsand imaginary floors
"why can't you miss me?"
pistol pete removes the final breaths
from her unkind
and she is shaken
what does this mean
in love or in peace?
with you lying next to me
so faithless serene
and she calls to him
let the waste cross
the ancient trails to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
alone he roams inside
the ordinary catacombs
Of her waiting with raven hands
she steals and staggers towards her man
still scorned by his demon
because he's undone
become the language of disaster
and love vengeance and dust
and she calls to him
let the waste cross
the ancient trails to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
dusty screams through doors
and imaginary scenes
of hurt and teardrop
as he holds her down
in the cold lonely winds
together again
her inside him
and she calls to him
let the waste cross
the ancient trails to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
Annie-Dog
(Corgan)amphetamine annie-dog
has her leash and a face
her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
her diamond curse, it comes with mine
a vessel she for violent I
confession arms awake
mine mine, your were always mine
possessed by my taste
and below the angel dog
combs her hair and sings her psalms
the bombs go off, she doesn't notice
it all goes wrong, she sets things tragic
she is venus, she is mars
she's electric, and the struggle of
upon her face we leave no trace
but in her stomach mercury aged
she holds the blood, she carves the knives
she digs the wires in our babies
amphetamine annie-dog
pulls her trash and her stories
from place to place and bed to bed
gives of herself and the magnet head
another floor, another ceiling
counting stars with double meanings
is it wrong to be swallowed whole
to disappear in her
to give to her the priceless peace
of giving up control
we tumble out into the streets
and annie-dog, she drags her leash
pretty face, ugly mouth
bitter bred and so released
and by the no and in the yes
annie goes if you couldn't guess
a simple man, a sycophant
her elephant with the laughing cough
she wants clean sheets and fresh flowers
her dental shots and the hong kong glue
amphetamine annie-dog
has her leash and a face
Shame
(Corgan)you're gonna walk on home
you're gonna walk alone
you're gonna see this through
don't let them get to you
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is drunk and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is drunk all the time
shame
you're gonna walk on home
you're gonna walk alone
you're gonna walk so far
you're gonna wonder who you are
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is drunk and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is good all the time
hello goodbye
you know you made us cry
Behold! The Night Mare
(Corgan)I've face the fathoms in your deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
appease you
the wind blows, and I know
I can't go on digging roses from your grave
to linger on beyond the beyond
where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
you'll find me
the coarse tide reflects the sky
and the night mare rides on
and the night mare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the night mare rides on
what I fear is lost here
the wind blows and I know
all you have to do is run away
and steal yourself from me
become mystery to gaze into
you're so cruel in all you do
but still I believe, I believe
you
so may you come with your own knives
you'll never take me alive
with all the force of what is true
is there nothing I can do?
I can't go on digging roses from your grave
to linger on beyond the beyond
where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
you'll find me
and the night mare rides on
and the night mare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the night mare rides on
I've face the fathoms in your deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
to hold the flower I can't keep
For Martha
(Corgan)whenever I run
wherever I run to you lost
it's never done
just hanging on
the past has let me be
returning as if dream
shattered as belief
if you have to go, don't say goodbye
if you have to go, don't you cry
if you have to go, I will get by
someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive
if you have to go, don't say goodbye
if you have to go, don't you cry
if you have to go, I will get by
I will follow you and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
who'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
long horses we are born
creatures more than torn
mourning our way home
Blank Page
(Corgan)blank page was all the rage
never meant to say anything
in bed I was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed, drove the state line
looking for you at the five and dime
stop sign told me stay at home
told me you were not alone
blank page was all the rage
never meant to hurt anyone
in bed I was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
you haven't changed, you're still the same
may you rise as you fall
you were easy, you are forgotten
you are the ways of my mistakes
I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof
that you had left behind
you remind me of that leak in my soul
the rain falls, my friends call
leaking rain on the phone
take a day, plant some trees
may they shade you fromme
may your children play beneath
blank page was all the rage
never meant to say anything
in bed I was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed, drove the state line
looking for you at the five and dime
but there I was picking pieces up
you are a ghost of my indecision
no more, little girl
