This page has the lyrics to my five favorite songs by the Smashing Pumpkins.
1. Ava Adore
It's you that I adore, you'll always be my whore. You'll be a mother to my child, and a child to my heart.
We must never be apart. We must never be apart.
Lovely girl, you're the beauty of my world, without you there aren't reasons left to find.
And I'll pull your crooked teeth, you'll be perfect just like me. You'll be a lover in my bed, and a gun to my head.
We must never be apart. We must never be apart.
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world. Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die. Drinking mercury to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind. In time.
In you I see dirty, in you I count stars, in you I feel so pretty, in you I taste God, in you I feel so hungry, in you I crash cars.
We must never be apart.
Drinking mercury to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind. In time
We must never be apart.
And you'll always be my whore, cause you're the one that I adore. And you'll pull your crooked teeth, you'll be perfect just like me.
In you I feel so dirty, in you I crash cars, in you I feel so pretty, in you I taste God.
We must never be apart.
2. Perfect
I know, we're just like old friends. We just can't pretend, that lovers made amends. We are reasons so unreal. We can't help but feel, that something has been lost. But please, you know you're just like me.
Next time I promise we'll be perfect. Perfect. Perfect strangers down the lane. Lovers out of time. Memories unwind. So far, I still know who you are. But now, I wonder who I was.
Angel, you know it's not the end. The letters have been sent on. So please, you always were so free. You'll see, I promise we'll perfect.
Perfect strangers when we meet, strangers on the street, lover while we sleep.
Perfect. You know this has to be. We always were so free. Promised that we'd be perfect.
3. Bullet With Butterfly Wings
The world is a vampire, sent to drain. Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames. And what do I get, for my pain? Betrayed desires and a piece of the game. Even though I know - I suppose I'll show all my cool and cold-like old job.
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. The someone will say what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal. But can you fake it, for just one more show? And what do you want? I want to change. And what do you got, when you feel the same?
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show all my cool and cold-like old job. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. The someone will say, what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.
Tell me I'm the only one. Tell me there's no other one. Jesus was an only son. Tell me I'm the chosen one. Jesus was an only son for you.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. And I still believe that I cannot be saved.
4. Today
Today is the greatest day I've ever known. Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much to long. I'll burn my eyes out, before I get out. I wanted more, than life could ever grant me. Bored by the chore of saving face.
Today is the greatest day I've ever known. Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long. I'll tear my heart out, before I get out. Pink ribbon scars that never forget. I tried so hard to cleanse these regrets. My angel wings were bruised and restrained. My belly stings.
Today is, today is the greatest day. I want to turn you on. I want to turn you on. I want to turn you on. I want to turn you on. Today is the greatest. Today is the greatest day. Today is the greatest day I have ever really known.
5. Disarm
Disarm you with a smile and cut you like you want me to. Cut that little child, inside of me and such a part of you. Ooh, the years burn. I used to be a little boy. So old in my shoes. And what I choose is my choice. What's a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you. My love, I send this smile over to you.
Disarm you with a smile and leave you like they left me here, to wither in denial. The bitterness of one who's left alone. Ooh, the years burn. Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn. I used to be a little boy. So old in my shoes. And what I choose is my voice. What's a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you. My love, I send this smile over you.
