The Smashing Pumpkins - Questions? lyrics

What is this frightened air between us What is the question posed What is this violence I sense lurking [alt:creeping] What is your secret code I wanna know Why are the pipers crawling towards us What are we meant to show Why are you smiling daggers at me What do you have that's mine to hold Its a song I sing Its a song I sing I pull into the town Smoke rings around the square Im tearing the ground There is a place you'll [Alt: shell] explode Im getting close To an answer to my question To my small notions of Rome [Where does the ______ [d]ream?] you follow Why are we laying low Why must the cannons reap for nothing Why must the depths of hell be neatly sown I have to know Why are the crows crowing boldly How far must their uplinking go Why are the unknown known arising What is the unknown known to your lost soul Ive got to know I raced from the town bleeding like some kind of b**h Im down on my knees digging a new kind of ditch Braced it with pretty words But no answers to my question To my small notions of Rome Its a song I sing Its a song I sing I volunteer, to let me commandeer The last frontiers from your faith A gentle wish must float upstream Why must hope kick like a sweet dream What is this blood you drink like wine for Are your nights worth breaking in Why [does/ Alt: in] the face of d**h [Alt: do] you curtsy When he comes to tuck you in Its a song I sing Its a song I sing Its a song I sing What are we fighting for The spoils would end this war What are these sores you lick like ice cream You hide the ash You ride the past [Alt: You hide the past] What is the black bracelet for? Its the song I sing Its the song I sing Its the song I sing [Alternate version: I keep telling you, I keep telling you, I keep telling you, I dont want this song I keep telling you, I keep telling you, I keep telling you, I dont want this song Its the song I sing]
