The Smashing Pumpkins Lyrics

Ava Adore

it's you that I adore 
you'll always be my whore 
you'll be the 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 wrold 
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 

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 wrold 
dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind 
in time 
we must never be apart 

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

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
and i still believe that i cannot be saved

Luna

What moonsongs 
Do you sing your babies? 
What sunshine do you bring? 
Who belongs 
Who decides who's crazy 
Who rights wrongs where others cling? 

I'll sing for you 
If you want me to 
I'll give to you and 

It's a chance i'll have to take 
And it's a chance i'll have to break 

I go along 
Just because i'm lazy 
I go along to be with you 

And those moonsongs 
That you sing your babies 
Will be the songs to see you through 
I'll hear your song 

If you want me to 
I'll sing along 
And it's a chance i'll have to take 
And it's a chance i'll have to break

I'm in love with you 
I'm in love with you 
I'm in love with you 
I'm in love with you 
So in love 
I'm in love with you 
With you 
I'm in love with you 
I'm in love with you 
So in love 
I'm in love with you 
I'm 
I'm so in love 
I'm in love with you

1979

shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street
you and i should meet
junebug skipping like a stone
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
and i don't even care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know
just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
double cross the vacant and the bored
they're not sure just what we have in the store
morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured cement, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
justine never knew the rules,
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it
to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
the street heats the urgency of sound
as you can see there's no one around

Today

Today is the greatest 
Day I've ever known 
Can't live for tomorrow, 
Tomorrow's much too long 
I'll burn my eyes out 
Before I get out 

I wanted more 
Than life could ever grant me 
Bored by the chore 
Of saving face 

Today is the greatest 
Day I've ever known 
Can't wait for tomorrow 
I might not have that long 
I'll tear my heart out 
Before I get out 

Pink ribbon scars 
That never forget 
I tried so hard 
To cleanse these regrets 
My angel wings 
Were bruised and restrained 
My belly stings 

Today is 
Today is 
Today is 
The greatest day 

I want to turn you on 
I want to turn you on 
I want to turn you on 
I want to turn you 

Today is the greatest 
Today is the greatest day 
Today is the greatest day 
That I have ever really known

Tonight Tonight

time is never time at all
you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
and our lives are forever changed
we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same, we're different tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
believe, believe in me, believe
in the resolute urgency of now
and if you believe there's not a chance tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as i believe in you, tonight

Zero

my reflection, dirty mirror 
there's no connection to myself
i'm your lover. i'm your zero
i'm the face in your dreams of glass
so save your prayers for when we're really gonna need 'em
throw out your cares and fly
wanna go for a ride?

she's the one for me
she's all i really need
cause she's the one for me
emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
i never let on that i was down
you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
you blame yourself for wanting more
she's the one for me
she's all i really need
she's the one for me
she's my one and only
