the useless drag of another day
the endless drags of a death rock boy
mascara sure and lipstick lost
glitter burned by restless thoughts
of being forgotten
and in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
and you're a star
somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
a hidden diamond you cannot find
a secret star that cannot shine over to you
may the king of gloom, be forever doomed
and in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
burning up in speed
lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
the useless drags, the empty days
the lonely towers of long mistakes
to forgotten faces and faded loves
sitting still was never enough
and if you're giving in, then you're giving up
cause in your sad machines
you'll forever stay
burning up in speed
lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

[@mrcupcalling]

My favourate track from MCIS, the pumpkins at their absoloute peak ... interesting fact, if u look at the back or pisces iscariot, "pumpkins" is mis-spelt ... god i gotta get out more ...

[@Trizesta]

@44182blink He didn't start balding. He has stated many times he shaved his head because he felt too many rockstars at the time were being judged by their hair and not the music.

[@idektron]

jimmy is at the peak of his powers in this era + never knew d'arcy had such mothering hips..

[@underscoredan]

ahah thanks for pointing out^^ nice lapsus punkins btw ;)

[@OurFantasyLife]

It's really sad these guys self-destructed. One of the better bands of the 90's. This probably isn't Corgan at his best, though - I saw them live at the Pond in Anaheim, CA, and he was much better.

3:27.....I wonder will we ever see that sight again

[@damnitboy9635]

@Trizesta Actually he was. In the video for Bullet...., you can tell his hairline had already receded noticeably, as the rest was also thinning. By the time he started shaving it (early 96), the hair on the top of his head was very very thin. There aren't many vids to prove it, but there are a handful. The making of the 1979 video is one of 'em.
