"Snail"

Band's Comments Lyrics
Billy: "The most mentally demanding thing I've ever done in my life. The deepest into my guts I've ever reached. The song 'Snail' is about avoiding, not doing what's better for you, not facing up to the pain."


Billy: "Um, probably the song the consistently stays with me is 'Snail'. Because its a song that like it wasn't, it didn't, it wasn't one of those songs when you play it you say, 'hey this is a really great song'. We had to work on it and work on it, and kept it in my mind, and kept thinking about it".
Written by Billy Corgan

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 chase the sunshine
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower
