The Smashing Pumpkins
The Crying Tree of Mercury
[Verse 1]
This is the song I’ve been singing my whole life
I’ve been waiting like a knife
To cut open your heart
And bleed my soul into you
I did it all for you
You and you, and you, and you

[Verse 2]
This is the sound I’ve been making my whole life
I’ve been waiting for this night
To clear up all the talk
Although, I’m selfish to a fault
Is it selfish, it’s you I want?
You, I did it all for you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
This love will stand as long as you
There’s really no excuse
I did it all for you

[Verse 4]
These are the tears I’ve been crying my whole life
Like an ocean of desire
I’m reaching through the noise
Across the dusk of time
Within the lilting lies
I am singing out to you
