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

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

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...

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 (Corgan)
dusty screams through doors and 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
