The Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins (or Smashing Pumpkins) are an American alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1988 by frontman Billy Corgan (lead vocals, guitar), D'arcy Wretzky (bass), James Iha (guitar), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums), the band has undergone many line-up changes. The current lineup features Corgan, Chamberlin, Iha and guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Disavowing the punk rock roots of many of their alt-rock contemporaries, they have a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, shoegazing, and electronica in later recordings. Corgan is the group's primary songwriter; his musical ambitions and cathartic lyrics have shaped the band's albums and … more »

There's but one faun in the sky
Who brooks like you and I
Who sings his lullabies off key 
Who's mystified you
Nay, reminds you
Of how life used to seem 

But now, we're together now 
Yet somewhere I must somewhere find
That somewhere I should be 
And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner, lead

I know such tears are admirable
Brought out of year and sensible 
But all you'll sight is not your kind
He's setting up for nighty-night

Palindrome, palindromes
So here you hear belief
And heaven's on the beam

Where I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner flee

In lieu of frozen flame
In step of temporal rage
As crucifixus I've played right thru this 
This waning spell of strange
Yet somewhere I must somewhere find
That somewhere I should be 
And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner, I

Deus ex, unknown
Deus ex machine atoned
'Twas briar 'round the maypole 
Sour milk disgraceful 
And shot on the late-late show
Yet then they rose 
And like the rue he hath bloomed
Love each other 
Love done true

I'm here with you
At home with you
If I'm younger 
It's you that's moved
This wizened man 
Into the child
Seven's I can learn
Of heavens I can offer 
A resurrection won off forever
As free as you can free
Is free as I'll consider
On slivers of the gray
We're forever, forever
