Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music

Slow Down

midnight people
rushing for a downtown train
watching and wasting away

their hearts beat free
cool frequency
and i don't know what it is

i'm gonna run the slow dawn
seeking sigh, oh so faint
i'm gonna run the slow dawn awake

it's blessed undone
the songbirds are wrong
and i'm not sure what it is
but i'm sure that i could give it
awake the slow dawn

slow dawn moves by my side
teach your silent sleep
slow dawn

the midnight people
washing down here, wasting way
they're gonna run the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn

Vanity

you can hear the baby bones
crack beneath her wheels
tears of avalon
streak silent down her shield
high crimes and misdemeanors
unfortunate attacks
will leave you standing nameless
while she's turning black

vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why?

eleanor, you've lost me
in a haze of wine and cocaine
gone out and cost me
everything i blame
broadcast in tv detail
to call their own stories
as i try to recapture
our best in former glories

vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why?
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die

she swears she'll turn around
turn around for good
she swears she'll turn around
turn around for sure
you know you'll run around
run around for her
you know you want to know so pure

ease on that dirt road
you've still a ways to go
soak in sights and city lights
while you still can borrow
cursed fall will find you
and bring a memory
the ghost of her surrender
with the kiss of anarchy

she's naked at my door
vanity cries, why?
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die
die

Satur-9

to the ages i am speaking
to creatures i am sky
bloody simple features
everyone chooses sides

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
saturnine

how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tearstained underneath
blessed to the many
who are seeking some relief

saturnine, how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine
saturnine, you are waiting on a sign

camera take this picture
wreckage is outside
we're hereby forgotten
we are losing mind

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
you've always cried
cause you'll never find

Lucky 13

the same blood
i suppose
breaking jars
i'm no good
as the prodigal son

and i know that you're mesmerized
you had a vision, made these laws
and sanitized, are we above desires
i miss him so

you are so fucked
it has begun
revolution crawls
all over you
i was listening

you light up this sky
and scrape out your skull
your lovely face
will never be claimed thrice

and we're so unlikely to do it
upon my wrists i bear the cross
my losses mount as i climb across the home
of my own soul

i'll claim my prize
i don't exist
i am divine
a ghost with eyes

[billy: yeah, vietnam.]
[james: you headin' to vietnam?]
[unknown: yes, i need to be at the co-op.]
[unknown: thanks dude.]
[jimmy: i'm jungle-drummed out, man.]

Speed Kills

speed kills, but beauty lives forever
speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
i fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
and stood still beside eternal flame

and when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
with all i'd asked
and all i'd pray
the last rose of summer would stay

first time that i ever saw you
crashing hard thru days of pain
you were one of god's children
left to cry out in the rain
waiting to be saved again

'cause when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
and all i'd ask
and all i pray
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone
long gone, gone
the last rose of summer is gone

when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
forever young
forever blind
into the stars
we rock tonight

last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone

If There Is a God (piano/vox)

and if there is a god
i know he likes to rock
he likes his loud guitars
and his spiders from mars

if there is a god
i know she's watching me
she says she likes what he sees
but there's trouble on the breeze

who are you this time?
are you one of us, flying blind?
'cause i'm down here throwing stones
while you're so far from home

and if there is a god
you know they're on tv
they're the spies with bedroom eyes
that cower in our skies

who are you this time?
are you one of us, flying blind?
'cause we're down here throwing stones
while you're so far from home

and if there is a god
if there is a god

Try, Try, Try (alt. music/lyrics)

pop tart
what's our mission
do we know
but never listen
for too long
they held me under
but i hear
it's almost over
in detroit
on a memphis train
like you said

it's down in the heat and the summer rain of
the automatic gauze of your memories
down in the sleep at the airplane races

try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit longer
try to hold on
to this love
aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit colder
try to hold on
to this love

paperback scrawl your hidden poem
written around the dried out flowers
here we are still trading places
to try to hold on

pop tart
can you envision
a free world
of clear division
for too long
they held us under
but i know
we're getting over
in detroit
with the nashville tears
like you said

it's down in the heat with the broken numbers
down in the gaze of solemnity
down in the way you held together

to try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit closer
try to hold on
to this love
aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit older
try to hold on
to this love
aloud

and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
and no one should deny
we try to hold on
to the pulse of a feedback current
into the flow of the cryptic movement
slapback kills the ancient remnants
that try to hold on

try to hold on
to this heart
alive
try to hold on
to this love
aloud
try to hold on
and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
pop tart
you never listen
skinned knees
try to hold on
stop start
what's our mission
skinned knees
try to hold on

Heavy Metal Machine (version I alt. mix)

if i were alive
if i were real
would you survive
what would you feel

heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
as sentimental as our broken dreams

let me die for rock and roll
let me die to save your soul
let me die, let me die rock and roll
let the world forgive the past
let all the girls kiss the boys at last
let me go, let me go rock and roll

heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
we're the metal, in their metal machines
heavy metal, heavy metal machine

if i were dead
would my records sell
could you even tell
is it just as well

heavy metal, heavy metal machine
it's elemental, to all the rust it brings
heavy metal, heavy metal machine

let me die for rock and roll
let me die and save my soul
let me go, let me go rock and roll
let the world forgive the past
let all the girls kiss the boys at last
let me go, let me die rock and roll

heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
we're the metal, in their droning schemes
heavy metal, heavy metal machine

will i survive
is it up to me
could you understand
that it's not yours to keep

heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine

Real Love

fall into the century on a supersonic cross
blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
calling out i won't surrender a locket of her hair
sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
into the dark again
to feel alive again, and wait for

real love
or is it me you're after
is it time
'cause it's now or never
real love
real love forever
real love

born of the ball and chain
into a world sustained with sorrow

real love
a real touch we speak in
is it ours
or is it what we're seekin'
real love

in the eyes, behold and you'll find the 21st century
you detonate her will and her widowed speech
buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin
that held her mother's first kiss in a nameless dream
fall down the stairs again
to feel alive against tomorrow

real love
or is it me you're after
is it time
'cause it's now or never
real love
real love forever
is it love
or just yours to treasure
real love
real love
real love

we never listen
real love will listen
and tell her of a fortune
real love is riches
scratch through the changes
real love is nameless
so tired and hopeless

real love is painless
nobody mentions
we ever move to collect
the solar questions
demon scorn should not relax
the laws of gravity

real love

Go

the slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room
as in a dream

an empty house
with empty rooms
i loved you so
but now you leave

go, and leave if you must know
and go, i never wanted you to know
go

we ran away
or so we thought
now i know you were told to go

to know love, to show love
and go
to give love, to feel loved
and go

i fell asleep
washed up on the shore
i kissed my son christopher
he moved to speak
no words could reach me
but one once knew

go love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
i'm terrified to go
to know love, to show love
go
to give love, to feel loved
go
to know love, to show love
i'm begging you to go

Let Me Give the World to You

last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
tired symphonies play downward

let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you my love
let me show you what i'm thinking of
let me give the world to you my love

so far
so far
so far

lovers form dead excuse
and blur the line with soul abuse
my lonesome lines just have no use around here

new skin may hold you in
but the old skin still turns us on
flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear

let me give the world to you my love
let me show you what i'm thinking of
times are hard and we're the last in line
'cause in my grief i'd forgotten what was mine

no i wouldn't change a thing
no i, no
no i wouldn't change a thing about the way you are
the distance here, the speed so far
so far
so far
so far

let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you my love
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you
let me give the world to you my love

so far
so far
so far

Innosence

innocence
innocence finds you there
innocence
innocence doesn't care
any way you choose
the sun, and the sun
i choose

hold me now
i won't let go
innocence
innocence lets you go
innocence
innocence holds you down
any way
any way that you want

and you will be there
with the sun
and you say you don't care
any way
any way that you want
in the love
in the love, we're unsung
it's any way
any way that you want
hold it in
innocence in your arms

innocence
innocence holds you there
innocence
innocence doesn't care
innocence
innocence lets you dream
innocence

Home

we'll wander off through the dead of night
past wastelands of shattered souls
warm by my firelight
i peer into the darkness alone

as the indian summer of my remembrance
settles on my bones
cracked and weary, i ask for direction home

home, let the word spill from my mouth
love, love is everything i want
i'm one of many more to come
love, love is everything i want

crossroads outside of town
the heartbroken faces shine
the city lights so far and dull
turning left i know it's time

with an urgent wind upon my rolling heals
to carry me along
my face downcast, i turn to ruins past and home

home, let the word spill from my mouth
love, love is everything i want
i'm one of many more to come
love, love is everything i want

we'll wander off through the dead of night
past terrors and broken homes
wipe the sleep from under your eyes
of riverbanks and catacombs
sleep into the bee and the sea
i was to live this life alone
lay down caligula
cry out, i know it's time

love is everything i want
love is everything i want
love is everything i want
love is everything i want

Blue Skies Bring Tears (heavy)

unleash the armageddon
so all the children go to heaven
i sit by quiet still
with their pictures on my eyes
you'll draw the guns you're given
write down the words as written
and never disturb the presense
of resurrection crutch

and it's about time
it's about drawing near
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears

descend the darkened stairways
make hate with plastic playmates
and fire out remaining traces
of your self esteem
mainline the deepest secrets
lick clean the dirty fingers
i am a stranger to you
as you are to yourself

and it's about time
it's about fear
blue skies bring tears
don't you want me (don't want you)
as i awake the city sight
we'll watch the seasons die

blue skies bring tears
take me inside your body
blue skies bring tears
cover me with your soul
blue skies bring tears
to the darkest recess
blue skies bring tears
is where i wish to go
blue skies bring tears
you are the sweetest flower
blue skies bring tears
that i have ever devoured
blue skies bring tears
i ask for nothing given
blue skies bring tears
for nothing in return
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears

blue skies bring tears

White Spyder

wander slow
and your kisses chase
what must i do
if only for your warm embrace
for all they take
must you complicate

and every little spider
that crawled up inside her
is waiting for my phone call

scream you're not around
you've gotta strip your skin
to let them tear at it
i'm gonna take a piece
for my own release
i'm gonna shift to speak
fuck the enemy
i'm gonna chomp my teeth
climb on out of me
i'm going on around
without a sully sound

wander slow
white spider
how did you know, yes
if only which way to go
my white spider

'cause now i'm reminded
of every single fighter
that's waiting for just what she brings
and every little spider
that crawled up inside her
who's waiting for the phone to ring

my white spider
which way'd you walk
my white spider
isn't all

i made this up
to make the scene
beyond belief

Le Deux Machina (synth)

[instrumental]

Here's to the Atom Bomb

away to the side you move your head
gravity fingers dig in your back
the strangest man won't let you breathe
rocking on you in a movie scene

his words fill your mouth
his guests bleed sick
devoid of touch
he lets out to the streets where you were raised
sittin' home waiting for the coming age
you had to wait your turn
you had to wait your turn

wake up early, wash up late
satellites connect you to your hate
your patience grows but your skin is thin
the pager signals they're coming in
through the hole in the wall
you left the hole in the wall

here's to the atom bomb
may everyone find a way to get on

a little piece of heaven is all you seek
in the same old re-run week after week
their faces make you want to kill
the little piece of heaven singin' on the windowsill

no lights can turn you on
pixelate the night
reading the words
of your eyes on the streets where you were born
sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
near the hole in the wall
you left a hole in the wall
