 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

 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

 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

 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

 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
