By Starlight

Smashing Pumpkins · Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995]

By starlight I'll kiss you

and promise to be your one and only

I'll make you feel happy

and leave you to be lost in mine



And where will we go? What will we do?

Soon said I, will know

dead eyes, are you just like me?



Cause' her eyes were as vacant as the sea's

dead eyes, are you just like me?

and all along, we knew we'd carry on

just to belong

by starlight I know you



As lovely as a wish granted true

my life has been empty, my life has been untrue

and does she really know, who I really am?

does she really know me at last?

dead eyes are you just like me?
