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.

Tyger, tyger
Along that wire, prowl
For that elysian soul, I've got to know
Fang to fang
Bang your gold
For that elysian soul

(Climbs) Climbs all pearls to drag you out (you out)
What control is strong enough to mind you
Strong enough to fight? (fight)
And stung enough to waltz through
Dread, dark lights (light)
Hum that lonely view
Dead desires, this
The thrall stays in your kiss (in your kiss)
Need you, need not miss that kiss

Tyger, tyger
Along that wire, prowl
For that elysian soul, I've got to know
Fang to fang
Bang your gold
For that elysian soul

I've got to know (I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know)
(I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know)
I'm sharp enough to focus (fo)
Sharp enough to knife (knife)
I'm sharp enough to pull through, seraphic bite (bite)
Kicking and scratching and wordlessly acting
And not making very nice
Does control drag you out? (you out)
Be still the ides

Tyger, tyger
Along that wire, prowl
For that elysian soul, I've got to know
Fang to fang
Bang your gold
For that elysian soul

Fang to fang (I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know)
Bang your gold (I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know)
Tyger, tyger (I've got to know, I've got to know, I've got to know)
Along that wire
