Glissandra - The Smashing Pumpkins

Fallen lovers and useless friends

Must you glare?

A life uncovers our unions pulled by threadbare

Pleasure taps it’s vein

I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full

And I’ve been sated some more

I used to know what for

I used to know

All hours look the same

I used to know

What a wish was for

Magic plumes my soul

Pyramids for sale

Full moons on the rail

Pipers play for dawn

Hypnotized, unwind these lines around my head

What’s left for me to leave for you unsaid?

You can’t fill with dread

I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full

Molten at the spoke

I used to know what for

I used to know what for

La-la-la-la-la…

A pluck on spider strings

Gutter from the stars

Children from the stars

Children cry out proud

As embers blast my heart

Broken where I’d stop

I used to know

What a wish was for

I used to know

What a wish was for

Stolen like a lark

Flicks on tender wrists

Abuse the modern mind

Crush on what you’ll find

La-la-la-la-la…
