Just a few of the lines from my favorite Pumpkins songs.
The World is a Vampire.
BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS
Today is the greatest
Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
TODAY
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
ZERO
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
AVA ADORE
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given back
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
MAYONNAISE
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
THIRTY-THREE
Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
SOMA
I can't go on, digging roses from you grave
to linger on, beyond the beyond
BEHOLD! THE NIGHTMARE
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
CRESTFALLEN
And rescue me from me, and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?
GALAPOGOS
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Desperate and displeased - with whoever you are
And you're a star
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough
HERE IS NO WHY
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find
Suffer my desire for you
IN THE ARMS OF SLEEP
Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories of what never was
JELLYBELLY
who belongs
who decides who's crazy
who rights wrongs
where others cling
LUNA
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world
MUZZLE
As far as you take me, that's where I believe
The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
The steam of my misfortunes
Has given me the power to be afraid
PORCELINA OF THE VAST OCEANS
I love the Smashing Pumpkins!! Billy Corgan could pass as Gerard Way's (My Chemical Romance) dad :))
