Band's Comments		Lyrics
Billy: "A home demo that I just didn't have the heart or energy to go back and record. I liked the lyrics a lot, and if I had spent more time on it it probably should have been on the album. It was written in the initial post-Lollapalooza batch ("33", "Jupiter's Lament", "Methusela", "Ugly") of acoustically tinged songs. It has double-tracked, fingerpicked guitar - all the better to hide those little mistakes - with a few choice keyboard overdubs bleeding through the vocal mikes."		Written by Billy Corgan Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited Where the cool winds blow I must surely go For my love calls me lo to drag her from the depths of my soul When will I see her again? The other side of friends The darkened clouds of death The empty-breathed desire Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited Restless in my speech And ruthless in my teach So vacant in my breach, I drive the dirt of her garden Sorrow She'll never listen again No other lovers to bend Just rotten apples to eat Slathered yellow distant scorn Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited Life just fades away Purity just begs Dust to dust we're wired into sadness
