Smashing Pumpkins - Minerva

I highly recommend the somewhat recent Smashing Pumpkins album Cyr. The always great band has a fresh new vibe. I could listen to this song below all day and not get tired of it.

"Minerva" lyrics

So kinetic, electric waterloo
In vitro, in shadow Xanadu
Perfumed papers that say that we'll mend
Let's dance around again
Let's dance around again

Saints, feints
We are fools
Saints, feints
We are fools
But sometimes, fools, they rule

Minerva, desert us in pantomime
Pathetic, prophetic columbines
These perfumed vapors that reek a riot's end
Let's dance around again
Let's dance around again

Saints, feints
We are fools
Saints, feints
We are fools
Saints, saints
Saints
We are fools
But sometimes, fools, they rule

October loves you
Strawberries love you
Who wouldn't love you?

Saints
(We are)
Saints
(We are)
Saints, saints
Saints
We are fools
But sometimes, fools, they rule

"Cyr" lyrics

Fragments form the mind
Shadows hold the mist
Fractured as this wish
Shattered I resign
We're on the verge, we're on the verge
Of sacred dawning and sloe-sloe eyes

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Tangents vex the whorl
The void arrives, then leaves
Returning, returning a kiss
For lovers built the dream

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Did the times, wind
Did the crowd, kind
Aping youth, wise
Ever lost, ides
'Midst the chaff, as meek
And those weak, as sand
Turning glass upside down
For the hours should they pass

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

(We're on the verge)
We're on the verge
We're on the verge

"Ramona" lyrics

I should wander
Yet I shaln't gander far
Beyond her spells enchant

As red made roses
As red made crimson morns
Black makes my blood char

I know I'm ruthless
Ain't the kind to see
I know I'm ruthless sigh

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Storms with thee
Ramona, ain't it just I dreamed?
Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, let's not say we're bound

I know I'm ruthless ain't the kind to free

I've been riding high
I've been riding stone alone
Right out of my mind

Ooh, the incantations of
The souls she's torched to dust
By hex that had no stage
Of all the evidence
Of all I've ever been
Was some innocence to where I belonged
By the elements I've been roaming too long

I know I'm ruthless
Ain't the kind to plead

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Storms with thee
Ramona, ain't it just like I dreamed?

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, let's not say we're bound

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Deliver thee
Ramona, ain't it like I dreamed?

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, Ramona please
