Shattering, I'm glassed
I'm glassed, I'm glassed
I'm shattering, I'm glassed
I'm glassed, I'm glassed
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering, I'm glassed
I'm glassed, I'm glassed
Going out of tune
In a blood stained job
Been a real long time
Since I walkin' fine
You put up the wall
You put up the wall
Calling, get my calls
Because I'll be by the pool
Won't you please
Talk to me
Won't you love
Or are ya tired
I'm alone
In my soul
Because I betrayed
My rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll 
Shattering, I'm glassed
I'm glassed, I'm glassed
I'm shattering, I'm glassed
I'm glassed, I'm glassed
You put up the walls
And all of my calls
Because I'll be by the pool
Quiet with my god
Because there's nowhere to run
Because I'm the one you love now
I'm staying after school
Breaking all of your rules
Shattering glass
Shattering glass
Shattering glass

. . .



You gotta understand
You gotta understand
It's just a fact 
That you must attack
You gotta get it while you can
Well, everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Because everybody's business
Is everybody's business
Yeah, we hope you'll understand
Yeah, it's just a master plan
No, just coming down for you
My baby's got three eyes
My baby's got three eyes
She holds her hands 
Behind her back
She's got a big surprise
Well, everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Because everybody's business
Is everybody's business
Yeah, we hope you'll understand
Yeah, it's a master plan
Yeah, we're coming down for you
Yeah, we're coming to your town
Yeah, we'll help you party down
Yeah, we're an American band for you
You gotta understand
You gotta understand
It's just a fact 
That you must attack
You gotta get it while you can
Everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Because everybody's business
Is everybody's business
Well, everyone's gonna be a big star
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car
Everyone's gonna be in charge
Because everybody's business
Is everybody's business
Everyone's business
Is everyone's business
Everyone's business

. . .



You say I'm beautiful
Well, I can't help it
You say I'm empty
But we all know I'm full of shit
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Get out, get up
You're growing cold
Can anyone
Anyone be true
Does anyone
Anyone wanna be you
You say I'm tragic
I say it's the magic, kid
You say I'm lucky
We all know its in the cards
Get out, get out
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Can anyone
Anyone be true
Does anyone
Any wanna be you
Didn't wanna be you
Bring it, Jimmy
Floating
Knocked out, sky high, floating
Flat out, deadly truth
Does anyone wanna be you
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you

. . .


Written by Billy Corgan

Fall in to the century of 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?
Because it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love
Born of the fallen chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow
Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it lies.
Or is what we're seeking
Real love
In the eyes
Behold and you'll find the 21st century
Detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow
The rusty shadow tin
That held her mother's first kiss in a
Nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive again, it's tommorow
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 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

. . .



The slowest night
The slowest day
You sway across the room
As in a dream
An empty house
With empty rooms
I loved you so
And now you're going
Go, and leave if you must know
And go- I never wanted you to know
Go
You 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 kiss my soul and priest deformed
You move to speak
No words can reach me
At 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

. . .



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 played 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 lines with soul abuse
My lonesome lies 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 where
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
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

Innocence, innocence finds you there
Innocence, innocence doesn't care
Any way you choose
The sun, are the son
Are true
Hold me now I won't let go
Innocence, innocence let's you go
Innocence, innocence holds you down
Anyway, Anyway that you want
And you will be there
With the sun and you say you don't care
Anyway, Anyway that you want
In the love, in the love we're unsung
It's anyway, anyway 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

. . .



We'll wander off through the dead of night
'Cause wasteland of shattered souls
Warm by the firelight
I peer into the darkness alone
As the Indian summer that I remember
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary
I asked for direction home
Home
Let the words 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 charred
The city lights, so far and dull
Turning left, I know it's time
With an urgent wind upon my rolling heels
To carry me along
My face aghast 
That I turn to ruins past and home
Home
Let the words spill from my mouth
Love
Love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love
Love is everything I want
Wander off in the dead of night
Past terrors and broken homes
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Of riverbanks and catacombs
Sleep into the guillotine
Always lived this live alone
Lay down beneath the law
Cry out I know it's time
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want

. . .



Love run the silent horses
Some cried the shell shocked houses
Ring dry the salty tears of saviours
And their lovers
People of the silent movies
Kiss of the twilight cry
Bleach blonde the high wire groupies
Sucking up the tide
Raindrops, the creaky messes
Wind blows the temples down
Blood fills the exit tunnels
Shreaking out of town
It's about time
It's about tryin'
Blue skies bring tears
Don't you know me?
Suffer there for you
Don't see it's gone
Blue Skies
I wish the armageddon
Draw down the hungry bread
Need it for the final verdict
Judges draw you now
Let fly your monologing
Let by the locust cry
Unhook the hidden forces
That fasten to our life
You want me
You want me to stay
It's about time
It's about here
Blue skies bring tears
Shake loose the huddled masses
Steal the urgent love
Crept to the faded hoses
Broken sea shell part
Fire all your dead, she's older
Shoot down the skeletal man
None of it leads to crisis
And then don't even go through hell
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

. . .



Wander slow
And your kisses chase
What must I do
If only for your warm embrace
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
And now I remind her
Of every single liar
Living for the killing stall

White spider
Where will you crawl
White spider

The endless paths
Began to scan
I don't understand you
I am, I am
Know who I am
I'm sorry you had to
White spider

You gotta get away
To try to stay awake
You've gotta fix your gaze
So you're not afraid
You've gotta bide your time
Before you want science
You've gotta play the part
Before you fall apart

You've gotta walk through hell
Scream you're not around
You've gotta strip your skin
You 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
I'm back on top
Just a cock
Out of your cream
I am the end
I shall not remain
Prying plaintiff
The end we skim
I cannot pretend
Each who collapse, yeah

My white spider
How will you crawl
My white spider
Will it on

. . .



Hold silent
You were my violent star
In my life
Just for the moment
And then me under you
So you can die

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream

Junes of cast
Left tight in their bone sleeves
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Hunting my tunnel light
Right through my clothes

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me out

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me out
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures scream

In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

In my body
In my body
In my body, yeah

In my body
In my body

. . .



If there is a God
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
And he is spiders from Mars
And if there is a God
I know she's watching me
She likes what she sees
But there's trouble on the breeze
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us flying blind?
Because I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And if there is a God
I know they're on TV
Their the spies with bedroom eyes
Who cowers in our sky
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us flying blind?
Because I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And If there is a God

. . .

Le Deux Machina

[No lyrics]

. . .



Clung to the sweater
Since the day you were born
Never knew better
That's what you swore
Mother heard you
'Cause the walls were thin
In Saturnine sweetness
And ratio din
No boy could spell you out
In the grass at night
Beneath the stars
You grew right
Past the streets
Where you were raised
Sneaking out early to a secret place
Like a hole in the wall
Like a hole in the wall
Into the bed
You hang your sleep
To watch your man
As he seeks relief
You cut out his heart
And watch him die
So we can know you
And that you're alive
As the hole in the wall
You're the hole in the wall
No one could know your son
And kisses and noise
Now you belong to them all
Awake to the dawn
And scratch your eyes
Alight the prayer candles
That you remind to
Send you a boy
That you could waste
A little piece of heaven
To set you straight
Through the hole in the wall
You are the hole in the wall
No one could tell you why
The tape's full of hiss
And sons who cry to the night
Of the dead
And the wishing ghost
Beating on you to drain morose
Through the hole in the wall
We are the holes in the wall

. . .



Midnight people
Rushing for the downtown train
Watching, wasting away
Their hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don't what it is
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Seeking sigh
Oh so faint
I'm gonna run
The slow dawn
Await, it's blessed undone
Some birds on the run
And I'm not sure what it is
But I'm sure that I can give
Awaiting the slow dawn
Slow time moves, buying a servant
Teach your silent sleep
Slow dawn

Midnight people
Washing down here, wasting away
They're gonna run
The slow dawn
Await the slow dawn
Await the slow dawn
Await the slow dawn

. . .



You can hear the baby bones
Cracked 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
Broadcasting in TV detail
To call their own stories
As I try to recapture
The best and 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
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 we'll find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
And a kiss of anarchy
She's naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more

. . .



To the ages die of sleeping
Creatures high in sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone choosing sides

We are inside
We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside

Saturnine
How'd I'd love to waste your time
Saturnine
Saturnine

Goodbye all you widows
Tearstain on the name
Glass into the vein
While 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
Wreckages and sight
We have all forgotten
We are losing time

We are inside
We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You always cry

. . .



shattering fast 
I'm glass, I'm glass 
I'm shattering fast 
I'm glass, I'm glass 
I'm shattering, shattering 
glass, glass, glass 
I'm shattering fast 
I'm glass, I'm glass 

got a lot of tears 
in a blood-stained jar 
been a real long time 
since I walked the fine line 

you set up the walls 
you set up the walls 
I'll hold all of my calls 
I'll be by the pool 

won't you please 
Talk to me 
Won't you love
What I love 

I'm alone 
in my soul 
I betray 
rock and roll 
rock and roll 
rock and roll 
rock and roll 
rock and roll 

shattering fast 
I'm glass, I'm glass 
I'm shattering, shattering 
glass, glass, glass 

you set up the walls 
you set up the walls
I'll hold my calls
I'll be by the pool 
playing with my guns 
no matter where you run 
cause I'm the one you love now 
staying after school 
breaking all your rules 

shattering fast 
shattering glass
I'm shattering glass

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 asleep
You light up this sky
And scrape out your skull
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice
It was so unlikely doom
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb across the hole
of my own soul

I'll claim my prize
I don't exist
I am divine

. . .



Speed kills
The beauty lives forever
Speed drowns
The beauty knows your name
Barrel inside eternal winter
Stand still beside eternal flame
Because when I ride
With you tonight
We move
At the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
Last rose of summer is gone
Last rose of summer is gone
First time that I ever saw you
Crashing upon the desert plain
You were one of your children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to descend again
When I ride
With you tonight
We move
At the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
Last rose of summer
Last rose of summer
Last rose of summer is gone
Long gone
Gone
Last rose of summer is gone
Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever bright
To stars
We die tonight
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer

. . .



And if there is a God
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
And he is spiders from Mars
And if there is a God
I know she's watching me
She likes what she sees
But there's trouble on the breeze
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us flying blind?
Because I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
And if there is a God
I know they're on TV
The spies with bedroom eyes
Who cowers in our sky
Who are you this time?
Are you one of us flying blind?
Because I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
If there is a God

Pop tart, what's the matter
Did you lose..what you're after?
For your tears I'm still singing
For your fears, I am ringing
From Houston on a downer buzz
Like you said, It's just because
You'll detonate your long lost kisses
Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings
So start your way for a new impression

That try to hold on
To this heart a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
Try with this love aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart has never been broken
Try to hold on
Try to hold on
Pop tart, did you flatter
When they spoke..of my disasters
At 13, I lost my compass
But I'm sure, it's all accomplished
As my desires on my ghost trains
Like you said when it rains
It's pours down the back of the bitter son
Desperate for love and loves everyone
In my mother's arms, no simple harm

Conspires to hold on
To this heart
A little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love aloud
Try to hold on
And we know
If we go under
We just can't let go

No, no
Pop tart, will it matter?
If I lose and just shatter
Will you cry, and keep crying
Will I die, and keep dying
In Tokyo, the sad tragic blues
Like you said, it's how you use
'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters
Our rings and maze and simplicity
When can we laugh and take all the credit
And know we'll go free
With our hearts a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
For this love aloud
Try to hold
For this heart's a little bit frightened
Just try to hold on

Just try to hold on

. . .



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 n' roll
Let me die
To save my soul
Let me die
Let me die
Rock n' roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go
Let me go
Rock n' roll
Heavy metal
Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal
A 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 tel
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 n' roll
Let me die and save my soul
Let me go
Let me go
Rock n' roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go
Let me go
Rock n' roll
Heavy metal
Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal
A 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
