After the glow the scene the stage the set
talk becomes slow but there's one thing I'll never forget
hey you gotta pay your
dues before you pay the rent
Over the turnstiles and out of the traffic
There's ways of living its the way I'm living
Right or wrong it's all that I can do
And I wouldn't want to let you be
I'd want a range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down
I'd want a range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down
Run from the pigs the fuzz the cops the heat
Pass me your gloves because
Crime it is never complete
Until you snort it up or shoot it down
You're never gonna feel free
Out on my skateboard the night is just hummin
and the gumsmacks are the pulse I'll follow
If my walkman fades then I got
Absolutely no one
No one but myself to blame
don't worry
We're in no hurry
School's out,
what did you expect?
I'd want a range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down
I'd want a range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down
Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids, I/they don't have no function
I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck
Stone Temple Pilots they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me are they foxy to you
I will agree, they deserve
Absolutely nothing,
nothing more than me
Dream dream dream dream...
so alive!
Contains lyrics about the Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan: (ATN 1995)

"The Pavement thing was really silly and immature. But honestly, I don't
really think we're that singled out. I think basically any problems that
have ever existed exist in that Sonic Youth,
Pavement, Jesus Lizard, you know, that segment of indier-than-though, I
think they take umbrage with a band that
can basically do what they do but better and have more success than they
have. Because apparently, in their
mindset--and this is the problem with their mind set--they think that
being cool and having these cool friends equals
the kids are going to respond to what you're doing.
And that's that very kind of thinking that separates them from the
audience. They can sleep at night thinking they're
the coolest people on the planet but the fact of the matter is, kids don't
get up in the morning and listen to those
bands. Kids don't fall in love listening to those bands. And that's the
difference. And I think that's what causes the
friction."
