Smashing Pumpkins Gish 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

Siva
billy corgan

I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel
And dig it in the world I peel

Way down deep within my heart
Lies a soul that’s torn apart
Tell me, tell me what you’re after
I just want to get there faster

I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
Don’t want to live in your misery
I don’t live – I inhale

Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars full of wishes fill our beds
She said, "I’m dead"

All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can’t see
Tell me, tell me what you’re after
I just want to get there faster

I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t give – I unveil
I don’t live – I inhale
I don’t live

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?

Bury Me
billy corgan

(boys, let’s do it)

Bury me in love
Bury me in love

Shared your kisses, take your heart
Buried me and it hurts

I love my sister so
She don’t smother me
I played the spades I know
I’m a Jack of all trades
Would you bury me?

Once you see her
One inside (hide, hide)
Some things you just can’t hide
If you see her
Tell me why (why, why)
Why won’t she come outside?

Once you see her
One inside (hide, hide)
Some things you just can’t hide
If you see her
Tell me why (why, why)
Why won’t she come outside?

She will bury me
She will bury me

Crush
billy corgan

You wrap your arms around
A feeling that surrounds
Like liquid peppermint
Just taste the drinks that she served

And this feeling shivers down your spine
Love comes in colors I can’t deny
All that matters is love, love, your love

You’re sleeping in your bed
Just rest your weary head
Maybe you shouldn’t care
Throw away those dreams and dare

And I wonder if it matters to me
Love comes in colors I can’t deny
All that shimmers is love, love, your love
Your love
Your love

Suffer
billy corgan

All that you suffer is all that you are
All that you smother is all that you are
And you’re saying you’re seeing, you’re saying who
you are
What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you
are

All may say
I will dream
All may say

All of your struggles beneath your disguise
Drink from the reasons that hold you alive
‘Til we’re safe from the wounds of desire and pain
You must rise from the mounds of desire and change

Too late to discover peace of mind
Too late to recover me

All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to
be
Taken down your only son and what he means to me
Your dream will be
To dream with me

Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you
To cleanse your life takes more than time
Take what you want
Take all of it

Too late to discover peace of mind (have no peace of
mind)
To late to recover

Snail
billy corgan

All your seven dreams
Look close, son, and you’ll believe
As your things come undone
See you are the only one

Flower, seize the hour I did
I wait
Waiting, waiting for your wake
I’ll wait

When you wake up you’re all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
What you wait for

Flower, the pain will wash away, away
When the sun shines
Climbs through your window into your bed

When you wake up you’re all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
Down in my heart

Flower save the hours
Flower away

What you wait for
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower

Tristessa
billy corgan

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

Window Paine
billy corgan

Window paine
Around my heart
Shadows streak
Around my heart

Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today
Start today

Wind blow shame
Around my heart
Shadows scream
Around my heart

What are you coming to
Stripped down to the bone?
Laughing, living on your own
All alone

Do what you got to do
And say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Yes, start today
Start today

Daydream
billy corgan

My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life

My daydream screams bitter ’til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart

My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream

I’m going crazy
I’m going crazy
I don’t want feelings
Your feelings

I have gone crazy
Motherf***in’ crazy
I have gone
