written in the sand
always scrawled in foreign hand
the words of your future
and the faces of your past
raising up is shadow
hidden in coral eyes
filing whirling dervish
withold the secret lies
the fire that burns inside you
is lit as eternal flame
desire to surround you
puppets playing a mystic game
always filled with confusion
you move along in song
steps in the process
we belong...
...in trance
well the caretaker reached
in his pocket
and revealed a timeless watch
the rabbit sang beatle tunes
whispering out of time
we slid down peppermint stick
and into ancient candy
walking along coffee air
taking our chances in the water
Written by Billy Corgan
