"Starla"

Band's Comments Lyrics

Billy: "My friend Aneta still says to me that this song should have been on Siamese Dream. But back again to that no record 2x rule. This was recorded at the same time as Plume, and was also intended to be a demo, but we needed b-sides for our pretty worthless I an One U.K. Single (the dark continent). So in a way Plume and Starla were their own single if that makes any sense at all. Recorded over time, or recorded at two different sessions, one for vocals and solos, and one for drums, etc.... Another song with vocals written at the last second. I wrote the middle part on the back of an envelope- serve yourself no one else can do for you like you and no one else fails like me but in my eyes I burn alive no more words just you and I high in the sky- some of my favorite lyrics. Better that I did not care. Solo played at 7 a.m. Listen for the police car going by. I met this girl in Dallas when we were on tour with the Chili Peppers and that was where I got the idea for the song because when she said her name I thought wow, what a great title for a song.. Two and one fourth years later, I run into this same girl at a part and I say did you hear that song we recorded using your name, starla? And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with, well I can't say."
Written by Billy Corgan
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
I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone
Serve yourself No one else can do for you like you
And 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
