Lyrics Alienation - The Smashing Pumpkins

Alienation

So say, there goes my wishing tree
I then chose this outer space
And the idyllic swing on which I’d swung from
Exchanged for Pyrric disgrace
All hail, there’s no spinning back
From an orbit laid in vain
From this empire man cannot name
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
As with any true regret
Truth gets thumped by charge
Which deigns how I’ve arrived
Via an old, archaic sling-shot
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
Yet I sing, how does a wishing tree run dry?
Child, you stand remembrance in my mind
The embrace of those who loved you cannot die
Safe beyond the regents and their hive
Safe from clutch of jackals and plus’d-mind crimes
Never yielding
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
Lighting way from truth to absolute
Truth gets thumped by charge
Which deigns how I’ve arrived
As one atom 'tis but a grain of sand
And those lost are never forgotten
Yet may return
Home is where you start
And end your days in alienation
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
