"La Dolly Vita"

Band's Comments Lyrics
Billy: "So old yet it is kinda timeless in a strange way. I think it is because it has a dignity all in it. So many mistakes but the raygun is always on catch my assumption. Mary's always on the shoulder and the devil has his pitch fork on that backside of yours. La Dolly Vita, true as blue sky, cool as ice cream. The beside of our second single recorded with Butch Vig. We recorded this and Tristessa on the same day somewhere in the past and it was also the first day back. Many memories. Sorry, a tad too personal. Be careful what you say but be more careful what you don't. Well, a song like this we don't play live. Mostly not because it is a bad song. But because the band has never found the right way to play it. We've managed to record it in the studio. I would much rather not play a song and have it be sacred. I don't want to sound religious about it. But, I mean if something is dear to your heart, and you got to go out every night a ruin it and trying to play that song live is we keep ruining and ruining. Part of the problem to was that it has and alternate tuning. So, if your playing it to friends... "
Written by Billy Corgan

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom
Than she has given me

La dolly vita
Sweet as true love
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream<

You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top

Fade away, I want to see her
Fade away, I want to see her
I only want to meet her

La dolly vita
True as blue sky
La dolly vita
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

Take it all the way down
Forsake what you have now
Take it all the way down
