Smashing Pumpkins Zeitgeist Lyrics
1.Doomsday Clock

Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost amongst our dead
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
They're bound to kill us all
In white-washed halls
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock tickin' in my heart
I love life everyday
in each and every way
Khafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end,
it's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing that I'm born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees(chorus)
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that ol' sun to know all there is
Come onn, last call!
You should want it all!(chorus)
Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock
Ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?

There's wages on this fear
They're bound to kill us all
Is everyone afraid?
I love life everyday
Please don't stop
We gotta dig in
Is everyone afraid?


2.7 Shades of Black

And without peer
Fall in hate with me with one trick
Fall in hate with me with one trick
Smashing Pumpkins - 7 Shades Of Black
I'm on the street yeah
I want you
I'm looking for myself
I'm gonna make it
I'll take it
Like everybody else
Belle of the fawning
I'm yawning
Sister can't you spell
Above suspicion
Hey listen !
I'm digging my own hell
'Cause I want you bad, ah
And without peer
And without fear
I'm without anyone at all
I'm torn apart, decrying
How unjust you are
For busting
'Cause you don't want me no more
But just you worry
'Cause when they scratch-scratch my door
You'll hurry
This gun is loaded, devoted
You postulate the rest
Riding the seesaw
There's no law
That I have ever met
I'm just a flat punk
On dead junk
Riding a vanguard
Cut from the vaunted
I'm haunted, till death do us part
'Cause I want you bad, ah
Fall in hate with me with one trick
The yeah-yeah tears
The now and here
The without anyone at all
I'm torn without
'Cause you don't want me no more
But babe don't worry
'Cause when you scratch-scratch my door
We are the lurking
The panzers
The black as coal as night
Stealing the stealthy
And stellar
Until we get it right
Notice the yearlings
The dead things
The pretty as you please
I am the regent, the marquis
Sowing my bad seeds
'Cause I want you bad, ah
Fall in hate with me with one trick
You will want it all
As St. Patrick pipes on!

This gun is loaded, devoted
We are the lurking
'Cause you don't want me no more
'Cause you don't want me no more
The yeah-yeah tears


3.Bleeding the Orchid

If life is my weakness,
Love is my song,
If nothing means no one,
If fear conquers easy,
I can lead on,
Milk from the flower,
So here we are, upon your stage,
The laughs we shared,
Bleeding the orchid,
we're bleeding the orchid,
lessed my weakness
blessed my wrongs
As hate forms a sequence,
As freedoms die easy,
With suffrage the want
There's clouds in my shower,
Youth is where you are
We're bleeding the orchid,
We're bleeding the orchid,
Gilded art this silent march,
Past triumph, thru alarm
So thus charmed
But heart's untouched,
Bleeding the orchid
Bleeding the orchid,
Here we are,
Upon your stage
The love we share,
They're bleeding the orchiD
They're bleeding the orchiD
They're bleeding the orchiD
They're bleeding the orchiD
Gilded art this silent march,
So here we are, upon your stage,
But heart's untouched,
We're bleeding the orchid,
Youth is where you are
As freedoms die easy,
Bleeding the orchid,
They're bleeding the orchiD


lessed my weakness
Bleeding the orchid

If fear conquers easy,


4.That's the Way (my Love is)

They say that life ain't easy
They'll say your life's a crime
Destroy up all good reason
They'll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
'Cause I'm alive
Whenever I call you out
Whenever I draw you round
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
I'm always there for you
They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
To claim identity
Disgrace our sacred promise
With no belief
That's the way my love is for you
I feel a coming age now
I feel a dawn in me
A certain sun keeps rising
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you
end
They'll say that nothing matters
That's the way my love is for you
That's the way my love is
I feel a coming age now
That's the way my love is
They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
Whenever I call you out


5.Tarantula

Every single night
I don't want to fight
You and me go back
To places I don't know to care
Don't let me say this,
but you're no worse than me,
We are the real, if real ever was, and just because
We are the real, they feel we have enough,
I want to be there when you're happy
Can't stand the morning rain?
Get out I'll take your place then
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Then close your eyes you'll see
I don't want to be
Anything believed
Come along you'll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
Oh it's white hot soul they want,
We are the real, if real ever was, and just because
We are the ruin of every living soul
Don't break this oath!
I want to love you when you're happy,
Don't break this oath!
I want to be there when you're sad,
We are the real, as real as any ghost,
So easy now,
We are the real, in every living soul
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Can't stand the morning rain?
I don't want to be alone
Oh I don't want to be alone
If it's a white hot soul they want
then a black heart they'll get.
Come along you'll see the world
You and me go back
We are the real, as real as any ghost,
If it's a white hot soul they want
Can't stand the morning rain?
We are the real, if real ever was, and just because
Can't stand the blazing sun?
I don't want to be alone
Every single night
I don't want to be
Oh it's white hot soul they want,
Don't let me say this,
Don't break this oath!
I want to be there when you're happy


We are the real, if real ever was, and just because


6.Starz

Born of love and cast in light,
The stars above, stars of grace
The stars above, stars of grace
The stars above, stars of grace
You hurt so bad
This knowing, this fallacy
I want so much
to follow as I lead
for love I keep, silence I weep
Dead suns rule dead air
Tom from God and flung towards night
The stars that shine, stars that bleed
The stars that shine, stars that bleed
The stars that shine, stars that bleed
Silver seeking destiny
So follow please
This hurts so much, this knowing carries me
we want so bad, we forget we are free
Spirit smile on
Deep black diamonds, so rise the lost toys
Island of white noise
We are starz
We are starz
We are starz
What hurts so much
is knowing we are free!

The stars above, stars of grace
You hurt so bad
Tom from God and flung towards night
The stars above, stars of grace
The stars that shine, stars that bleed

We are starz

Tom from God and flung towards night

The stars that shine, stars that bleed


7.United States

Tired eyes closed for days
there's no regret, 'cause there's no place
I don't know what I believe
but if I feel safe, what do I need
Revolution!
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues
Dulcet tongues whisper fast
Dulcet tongues whisper fast
Dulcet tongues whisper fast
Dulcet tongues whisper fast
The future yearns, right now's the past
Rouse me soon, the end draws nigh
Whose side are you on?
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues
We're alive, I feel alright, so tonight
I got to ask you why?
Why tonight?
It's no surprise
Freedom shines a light ahead,
I'll lead the last charge from bed
Fight! I wanna fight! I wanna fight!
They said my last rites
A revolution tonight!
I wanna fight! I wanna fight!
Acolyte, acolyte
Let me do something good
Let me prove something real like I should
end
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood
Acolyte, acolyte
Fight! I wanna fight! I wanna fight!
Freedom shines a light ahead,
Dulcet tongues whisper fast
We're alive, I feel alright, so tonight
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues


Let me do something good


8.Neverlost

All hands on deck
Setting sail to get wrecked off course
You make what you want of me
Let's fill these hours and kill desire
Let's fill these hours and kill desire
I'm in touch with you
Every turn is torture thought
I've seen the film
I know the place
I'm never lost
Headlights shoot north
The ends of earth off course
If you think just right
If you'll love you'll find
All this is that once forgot
But oh these hours
I lost my place
I'm never lost
There's no disgrace in failing me
Let's kill these hours and fill desire
I'm in touch with you
Let's kill these hours and fill desire
I'm in touch with you
I'm in touch with you

But oh these hours
All this is that once forgot
I've seen the film
Let's fill these hours and kill desire
Headlights shoot north
Every turn is torture thought
If you think just right
Headlights shoot north
There's no disgrace in failing me


9.Bring the Light

Shot down I stood
Withstood my neighborhood
I got it wrong
But I could
It's light
To bring the light
I fought with all my might
With light
Light
Bring the light
I never felt so good and right
But tonight
You'll never need another sound
Oh bring the light
Here and gone oh I trust
You'd spit upon my dust
And mix my ash with your blood
A son of God you know you must arrive
In the light
Bring the light
Let's bring the light
Light
Light
Bring the light
It's yours not mine
If you just want to survive
Go grab a glimpse of any star
In heaven's high
I never felt so real and loved and alive
No shadows follow me unsung
In the light
A flower song, clear and bright
Is it wrong in neon white
To insist you are mine
Bring the light
Oh bring the light
Light
Bring the light
I never felt so real and right and alive
Don't let them steal you from what's yours by right
Light
Bring the light
You know there comes a place and time
You can't deny
Bring the light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Let's bring the light
Light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Let's bring the light
Light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Let's bring the light
Light
Bring the light
Bring the light
Let's bring the light
Light

Here and gone oh I trust
A flower song, clear and bright
Light
It's light
Light
Light
Bring the light
Bring the light


10.Come on Let's Go!

C'mon let's go
I'll find you waiting there
Beyond their violence dared
You could be my friend
Lovely and different
Crushing up the stars above us
Tears were once my only way back home
C'mon let's go
C'mon let's go
Beyond the great unknown
Beyond their punched-up skulls
C'mon let's go
Anesthetized I'm hollow
C'mon let's go
Go
Assimilate, it's all been staged
I've made mistakes, they penetrate
They're gonna take, it's all the same
I wanna love
I wanna love
I'm pushing back
I'm serpentine
Lord save me
With need
C'mon let's go
Tears were once my only way back home
C'mon let's go
C'mon let's go
Go
C'mon let's go

Tears were once my only way back home
You could be my friend
Anesthetized I'm hollow
Assimilate, it's all been staged
Tears were once my only way back home
Lord save me
C'mon let's go
C'mon let's go
C'mon let's go
C'mon let's go
I wanna love
C'mon let's go


11.For God and Country

I want to live for God and country
I want to live for God and country
It's too late for song
it's too late for what you've done
For God and country, i'll fight
For God and country, i'll die
For God and country,
my soul is so alive, my soul is so alive
Lay down your arms to me
I want to live when no one's watching the way home
It's too late for song, it's too late for everyone
Who needs this anymore, c'mon make it sold
When they build that cross of death, you won't build at all
It's time to wake up, it's time to wake up for good
For God and country, we'll fight
For God and country, you'll die
For God and country your soul is so alive, my soul is so alive
Lay down your arms to me
Lay down your arms for God and country, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't deny, for God and country we'll fight for our lives
You can't deny, for God and country we'll fight for our lives
In this time, for God and country there is no sacrifice
It's alright, my soul is so alive
For God and them, for God and country my soul is so alive.

Who needs this anymore, c'mon make it sold
For God and country, i'll fight
For God and country, we'll fight
It's too late for song
It's too late for song, it's too late for everyone
I want to live when no one's watching the way home


12.Pomp and Circumstances

When I was born I lost
When I was freed I fought
Now that I'm loved I'm caught
Between the rest and this tragic mess
Torn, broken and frayed
Oh don't we face
War, sunshine and grace
Oh won't you stay
For a while
We can fail in style
I can hold your smile
What was once praised now wrong
As they go, we can say we know
But what do we know
But war, sunshine and grace
Oh, don't we take
Torn, broken and frayed
Don't we face
War, sunshine and grace
'Cause I won't tell
I won't tell a soul
That I'm mad as hell
Torn, broken and frayed
I'm torn, broken and frayed, no!
I'm cold, worn out and shamed

Torn, broken and frayed
What was once new now gone
Torn, broken and frayed
'Cause I won't tell
