SMASHING PUMPKINS LYRICS
GISH
====
I AM ONE
I am one as you are three
Try to find my sight in your trinity
Your city too poor
Your city too poor
Try to look for something
In your city to pour over
Am I as I seem? Oh no
Don't slow down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your inner life
Your city too poor
Your city too poor
Try to look for something
In your city to pour over
Said you're the only one who
Said I am one
Said now you're the one who
Said
Said you're the only one who
Said I am one
Said now you're the one who
Said I am one
----
SIVA
That's when I bend loose my head
Throwing straight a spark instead
Yellow streak down in my hair
Dig it in the world I feel
Way down deep and in my heart
Lies a soul that's torn apart
Tell me, tell me what you're after
I just want to get there faster
I don't live - I invade
I don't give - I unveil
Don't want to live in your misery
I don't live - I invade
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars follow wishes fill your bed
She said, "I'm dead"
All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can't see
Tell me, tell me what you're after
I just want to get there faster
I don't live - I invade
I don't give - I unveil
I don't live - I invade
I don't live

RHINOCEROS
Planned a show
Treasoned my roots
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would relive
Should have known
I would come see you
Your way she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
How's it she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows
Colors show
After long
I should go
See you in June
Your way she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
How's it she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows
Open your eyes - to these must I lie?
Open your eyes - to these must I lie?
Your way she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows she knows
How's it she knows she knows she knows
And she knows she knows

BURY ME
Real love
Real love
Share your kisses, take your heart
Everything if it hurts
I love my sister so
She don't smother me
I played the spades I know
I'm a Jack of all trades
Would you bury me?
Once you see her
One inside
Some of the things you just can't hide
If you see her
Tell me why
Why won't she come outside?
She will bury me
She will bury me
If you see her
Tell me why
Why won't she come outside?
Once you see her
One inside
Some of the things you just can't hide
----
CRUSH
You wrap your arms around
A feeling that surrounds
Like liquid peppermint
Just taste the drinks that she served
And this feeling shimmers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that matters is love, love, your love
You're sleeping in your bed
Just rest your weary head
Maybe you shouldn't care
Throw away those dreams and dare
And I wonder if it matters to me
Love comes in colors I can't deny
All that shimmers is love, love, your love
Your love
Your love
----
SUFFER
All that you suffer is all that you are
All that you smother is all that you are
And your're saying your're seeing, your're seeing who you are
What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you are
All may say
I will dream
All may say
All of your struggles beneath your disguise
Drink from the reasons that hold you alive
'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain
You must rise from the mounds of desire and change
Too late to discover peace of mind
Too late to recover me
All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to be
Taken down your only son and what he means to me
Your dream will be
To dream with me
Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you
To cleanse your life takes more than time
Take what you want
Take all of it
Too late to discover peace of mind
To late to recover
----
SNAIL
All your seven dreams
Look close, son, and you'll believe
As your things come undone
See you are the only one
Flower, seize the hour I did
I wait
Waiting, waiting for your wake
I'll wait
When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
What you wait for
Flower, the pain will wash away, away
When the sun shines
Climbs through your window into your bed
When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
Down in my heart
Flower save the hours
Flower away
What you wait for
Flower changed the sunshine
Flower changed the sunshine
Flower

TRISTESSA
Pledged your faith
my heart embraced
struggle to renew
Blurry mind
so hypnotized
fast enough who
Wonder where you are
Tristessa
Soul takes soul
as I take eye
I will wait for you
What you believe
you'll wish to receive
I won't believe in you
Hang on to your life
Tristessa
I love you true
Surely I do
I love you true
Surely I do
Surely I do
Surely I do
Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake up far from home?
What you believe
you'll wish to receive
I won't believe in you
Tristessa
Tristessa

WINDOW PAINE
Window paine
Around my heart
Shadows streak
Around my heart
Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today
Start today
Wind blow shame
Around my heart
Shadows scream
Around my heart
What are you coming to
Stripped down to the bone?
Laughing, living on your own
All alone
Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today
Start today
----
DAYDREAM
[D'arcy's voice]
My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
[pause, then Corgan's voice]
I'm going crazy
I'm going crazy
I don't want feelings
Your feelings
I have gone crazy
Motherfuckin' crazy
I have gone

RHINOCEROS

BLUE
Hey Blue, all your love is strange
Come out with all those crazy names
So true when you laugh
For you, Blue
Right or wrong?
I belong right or wrong
Hey Blue, where'd you run to now?
Miss you since they found you out
I've been waiting such a long hour
For your smile, for you
I lay with you this velvet moment
Stay with me for a while
Where we run to is up to you
Just stay with me for a while
----
SLUNK
Ride on, motherfucker
Sister above
Lead on my lover
Daddy's not comin' home
So long my mother
So long ago
She loves me like a lover
Every house is now your home
Even though you lied to me
We love you
Right on, motherfucker
Sister above
Yeah, my lover
Every house is now your home
----
BYE JUNE
Bye June
I'm going to the moon
It better be by June
'Cause I'm going to the moon
So June
You'd better make it soon
I hope you make it June
'Cause I'm going to the moon
Bye June
Bye June
I'm going to the moon
I hope you make it soon
'Cause I'm waiting on this moon
Bye June
I hope you make it too
I'm wishing you're there too
I hope you make it June
Bye bye June
Hope you make it to the moon

SIVA

GIRL NAMED SANDOZ
Well I met a girl called Sandoz
And she taught me many many things
Good things, very good things
Sweet things
I met her on a Sunday morning
It was hot though the snow lay on the ground
Strange things, very strange things
My mind has wings
Sandoz Sandoz
Will you tell me "No?"
Sandoz Sandoz
Will you tell me why?
You could honor
Something from your mind
She's very old yet many think she's young
One kiss from her and you know your time has come
Good times for all time
Sandoz
----
SMILEY
Smiley, where have you been?
Smiley, it's such a sin to say
You'll dream your life away
No one ever couldn't make you all abandon me
All his friends would simple out of here only if he please
And he'll wait on his knees
Your love won't change
Come back to stay
Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
And you
if I'm smilin'
Then I'm tryin'
'cause I'm smilin'

I AM ONE

PLUME
Oh yeah, another day
Oh yeah, gotta play
What it is
it never was
I don't care
to give enough
My boredom has outshined the sun
It's all downhill
I just want to have some
little fun
Oh yeah, another day
Oh yeah, what a waste
What it is
it never was
I don't care
or give a fuck
Bring me down
----
STARLA
I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone
When you can't decide what's on your mind
It's clear I'm here, Starla dear
To disappear takes so much time
Starla dear, you're on my mind
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
I hear all you're saying
I hear all you're failing
Serve yourself
No one else can do for you like you
No one else fails like me
In my eyes I burn alive
Fly like a bird
No more words just you and I
High in the sky
----
SINGLES
=======
DROWN
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see you I'll come around
When I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drink
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye

AFTERNOON DELIGHT
========= =======
LA DOLLY VITA
I lay my head a vision
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom
She has given me
La Dolly Vita
Sweet as true love
La Dolly Vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her
La Dolly Vita
True as blue sky
La Dolly Vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
Take it all the way down
Forsake ones you have now
Take it all the way down
