Smashing Pumpkins Gish Singles Lyrics

 

I am one
billy corgan/james iha

I am one as you are three
try to find a messiah in your trinity
your city to burn
your city to burn
try to look for something
in your city to burn, you’ll burn
am i as i seem?
i’m down
down, so down

time is right for a guiding light
try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
your city to burn
your city to burn
try to look for something
in your city to burn, you’ll burn

see you, don’t you just want to
see you, i am one
see you, don’t you just want to
see you

see you, don’t you just want to
see you, i am one
see you, don’t you just want to
see you, i am one

not worth asking
billy corgan

not worth asking who i’m supposed to be
not worth saying, seems i’m free
not worth reaching to anyone at all
not worth reaching out to stop this fall
i’m on my own
yeah, i’m on my own

not worth being, i might already be
i just want someone to reach for me
not worth thinking*, it’s not worth digging down           *or “sinking”
i’ve been here before and hate what i’ve found

it’s too late, too late
i’m on my own, i’m on my own
i’ve gotta go so far away
it’s too late, too late
i’m on my own, i’m on my own
i’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

not worth asking who i’m supposed to be
not worth saying something, seems i’m free
not worth reaching to anyone at all
not worth reaching out, i’ll stop this fall

but i like you just the same
you’ve got to know somehow
that i’m the one to blame
we’ve come so far along
to end this destiny
you’ve got to know somehow

that it’s too late, too late
i’m on my own, i’m on my own
i’ve gotta go so far away
yeah, it’s too late, too late
i’m on my own, i’m on my own
i’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

terrapin
syd barrett

i really love you, and i mean you,

the star above you, crystal blue
well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you

i wouldn’t see you, and i love to,
i fly above you, yes i do,
well, oh baby my hair’s on end about you

floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all ’round the clown is dark
below the boulders hiding
all the sunlight’s good for us

cause we’re the fishes, and all we do
the move about is all we do
well oh baby my hair’s on end about you

i really love you, and i mean you,
the star above you, crystal blue
well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you

oh yeah, another day
oh yeah, gotta play
what it is, it never was
i don’t care to give enough

my boredom has outshined the sun
it’s all down low
i just want to have some little fun

oh yeah, another day
oh yeah, what a waste
what it is, it never was
i don’t care or give a f***

my boredom has outshined the sun
it’s all down low
i just want to have some little fun

bring me down
bring me down

starla

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

when you can’t decide what’s on your mind
it’s clear i’m here, starla dear

serve yourself
no one else can do for you like you
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

tristessa
billy corgan
&copy cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi)

pledged your faith
my heart embraced
struggle to renew

blurry mind
so hypnotized
fast enough who

wonder where you are
tristessa

soul takes soul
as i take eye
i will wait for you

what you believe
you’ll wish to receive
i won’t believe in you

hang on to your life
tristessa

i love you true
surely i do
i love you true
surely i do
surely i do
surely i do (no)

do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
do you ever wake up far from home?
what you believe
you’ll wish to receive
i won’t believe in you
tristessa
tristessa
tristessa

la dolly vita
billy corgan
&copy cinderful music/chrysalis songs (bmi)

i lay my head on her bosom
to cry myself to sleep
i see no greater wisdom
than she has given me

la dolly vita
sweet as true love
la dolly vita
cool as ice cream
cool as ice cream

you hear a lot of visions
you can’t even stop
can’t see what you’re missing
spinning like a top

fade away i want to see her
fade away i want to see her
i only want to meet her

la dolly vita
true as blue sky
la dolly vita
cool as ice cream
cool as ice cream

take it all the way down
forsake what you have now
take it all the way down

rhinoceros
billy corgan

planned a show
trees and balloons
ice cream snow
see you in june

could have known
i would reveal
should have known
i would conceal your way

she knows, she knows, she knows
she knows, she knows, she knows
how’s it
she knows, she knows, she knows

colors show
after the moon
i should go
see you in june
your way

open your eyes
to these must i lie?

blue
billy corgan

hey blue, all your love is strange
come out with all those crazy names
so true when you lie
for you, blue

right or wrong
i belong
right or wrong

hey blue, where’d you run to now?
miss you since they found you out
i’ve been waiting such a long time
for your smile, for you

i lay with you this velvet morning
stay with me for a while
where we run to is up to you
just stay with me for a while
