  • Billy Corgan Columbus Lyrics

           

    (written by billy corgan)
    columbus sailed on many moons
    on a sea of hope
    i'll be back it won't be soon
    with every word i wrote
    it's gone

    a sentence in a dusty book
    on a spartan shelf
    the guards hold up her falling roof
    with everything they know
    it's gone/gone/gone

    upon the shores of avalon
    a soldier rests his head
    the birds pick up the sweetest spot
    to build their lonely nest
    it's gone/gone/gone
    it's gone/gone/gone

    mother/i cried/mother/i cried
    for us/for us

    we pull the tree up by it's roots
    it's shade no longer full
    the fish hide in the longest reeds
    ignoring their own rules
    it's gone/gone/gone

    spinning a new parasol
    she gathered up the street
    they used far too much dynamite
    to bring down 300 hundred feet
    of the wheel

    kaleidiscopes of spinning tales
    that i'd onedaywrite
    the island fell to disrepair
    it fell right from my sight
    it's gone/gone/gone
    gone/gone/gone

    mother/i cried/mother/i cried
    for us/for us

    the horses dug the deeper pits
    with strength herefor not seen
    we lived for gods we cannot see
    but lived upon our wings
    it's gone/gone

    and everything i ever loved
    i loved way too soon
    a pauper plays his final act
    refusing to lose
    it's gone/gone/gone

    the men they will still hoist aglass
    to every fallen friend
    they tore the castle down so quick
    never thinking of the end
    it's gone/gone/gone

    mother/i cried/mother/i cried
    for us/for us

    the years don't need your oxygen
    they need your summer rain
    a temple to a single train
    delivered on the rust
    it's gone/gone/gone

    he drew the lines upon her breast
    stopping to his eye
    she stood and watched the ships come in
    passing on her left
    they're gone/gone/gone


    i reached for their benevolence
    cast in endless gold
    our cold is pure will to change
    when everything is sold
    it's gone/gone/gone
    gone/gone/gone

    mother/i cried/mother/i cried
    for us/for us
