Christmastime - The Smashing Pumpkins

Ring Christmas bells Ring them loud with the message bringing Peace on the earth Tidings of good cheer Come carolers Come and join with the angels singing Joy to the world Christmas time is here again Children gather around and listen You'll hear the sound Of angels filling the sky Telling everyone Christmas time is here Ring Christmas bells Ring them loud with the message bringing Peace on the earth Tidings of good cheer Come carolers Come and join with the angels singing Joy to the world Christmas time is here again

Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child? Softly stolen under blanket skies And rescue me from me And all that I believe I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace Here with you Will you leave me too? Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree And hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabies And tell me I am still the man I'm supposed to be I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace Here with you Will you leave me too? Will you leave me too? Too late to turn back now I'm running out of sound And I am changing, changing And if we died right now This fool you love somehow, is here with you I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace Here with you Would you leave me too? Would you leave me too?

Burn down the sun I'm not everyone High and dry Nothing but a body in my mind I'm here to stay They're here today High and dry Nothing but a body in my mind I'm nothing but a body in my mind I feel that something ain't right No fear but reasons that I can't cite Tear down the sun Bring down the sun I'm not everyone I'm not everyone I'm not everyone Unholy sin Unholy fate High and dry Nothing but a body in mind I'm left to ash They're here but past High and dry Nothing but a body in mind I am nothing but a body in my mind I feel that something ain't right No fear but reasons that I can't cite Tear down the sun Bring down the sun I'm not everyone I'm not everyone, I'm not everyone Burn down the sun Speculation Come on, get yourself together Speculation Become the owl at midnight Situation I am the seer, I am the seeker Situation Become the one that fights you Become the one that fights you Become the owl at midnight Become the owl at midnight I'm high and dry I'm ash faded signs I'm sun-filled, bright I am nothing but a body in my mind I am nothing but a body in my mind Tear down the sun Bring down the sun I'm not everyone I'm not everyone Burn down the sun

You wrap your arms around A feeling that surrounds Like liquid peppermint Just taste the dreams that she sent And this feeling shivers down your spine Love comes in colors I can't deny All that matters is love, love, your love You're sleeping in your bed Just rest your weary head Maybe you shouldn't care Throw away those dreams and dares And I wonder if it matters to me Love comes in colors I can't deny All that shimmers is love, love, your love Your love Your love

(Listen-wanna just start it? ...ready, flood? yeah... 1, 2, 3, 4) Stay with me, I'll set you free 'Cause I can tell you once were pretty Rose so sad you've lost your petals And lost the luster of your tattle tales I need a love to help me find my way I need a strength that I cannot betray I need a word to say what I can't say I need a lover, lover I need a lover, lover What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? Time has lost its hold on me Hatred sleeps inside my bones In the stillness of cool air All the boys have been left for dead 'Cause we know where they fear to tread The beautiful ones, the ones we'll remember The precious ones, our greatest pretenders I need a love to help me find my way I need a strength that I cannot betray I need a word to say what I can't say I need a lover, lover I need a lover, lover And if you lose yourself Could you take me, too? Could you rest inside the sleep? Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
