The Smashing Pumpkins
Glass and the Ghost Children (original demo)
To the center of the earth
Anywhere god decides
Full of fever pulling forth
We hear our call as all

To the center of the earth
As if written in
Dna is reaching out
To your frequency

I want to live
Don't want to die
I want to live
I want to try

All in prayer
Prayer in all
All are scared
Scared of you

Black rooms are calling
Men in leather coats
White labs are cooking
Up the silver ghost
Glass migrates under
Her translucent skin
And the spiders wonder
Just what we've got us in
All is you
You are all
All with you
You in all

I want to live
Don't want to die
I want to give
I want to try
I want to try


So beats the final coda
Of our vinyl storm
One more cherry cola
To lift up her dead arms
A dream of soft focus sunsets
Filters through the din
Bones bleed triumpant contact
As she dials it in
She can hear glass calling
Or someone who looks just like him
We are losing contact
She says it doesn't matter
She'd never liked her looks
She eyes tv reflection
And nods a knowing look
I have seen myself a thousand fractures
I have seen everything
Knowing is its own answer
Love something in a book
Not much left to ponder
Not much left to kill
