The Last Song

Smashing Pumpkins · Aeroplane Flies High [1996]

This is the last song

This is the last song I'll sing for you

This is the last song

This is the last song I can give you



The roaring city sleeps

Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets

And no one comes for free

In this place where the angels sleep



This is the last song

This is the last song



My eyes are wonder

My eyes are open wonder to this

As you hold the secrets

I count the minutes off so perfectly



The shards of broken glass

Sing the strains of a sad old tune

We've made it at last

What we had is lost inside our past



This is the last song

This is the last song



Could you find away across me

To forgive and forget me

To appease and relent me

To deceive and detect me

To understand and release me to the dawn



This is the last song

This is the last song

This is the last song

This is the last song
