The Aeroplane Flies High
Silverfuck

and I hear your winter
and I hear your rain
and I failed your summer ways
and I feel no pain
I feel no pain

and I hear you fade away
and I hear you crawl
and I gave my life away
and I feel no pain

I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
(Et al)

She was my lover
She was my angel
What I recover of my self I put into a box and put it underneath my bed
I Put into a box underneath my bed
I Put her in a box underneath my bed
A place where she could rest

And from that box she spoke
and I heard her scream
You're a whore and you always were
My mother swore I couldn't trust you brother
I hate you and I always did
I just did a real good job of pretending
Another tragedy

And this broke my heart
in two
And this broke my heart in two
I said what am I going to do without you?

Baby My Baby?
Where are you now?
Baby My Baby?

Lost in the clouds

and I screamed her name through the ethers
cause we were together again
(unintelligible) always been lovers
we just couldn't be friends
no, no, no, no, no, no

fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
fucking whore
She was a fucking whore
yeah

go

no

(jam)

(Billy vocalizes with "ooh's" and "aah's")

Thank you for coming to our concert
Thank you for staying until the end
Unlike the rest of the fucking posers
We appreciate you being true fans
real fans
We appreciate your support and love very much
We hope you have a very merry Christmas
Don't eat too many cookies
We are the smashing pumpkins

Dose [Filter] (tease)
Iha: Thanks, thanks a lot.
