Prairie Song
(Billy Corgan)
I will sing for you/a sunday song
Of a prairie lost/to open arms
Consider now the charms that you hold
Inside her belly gold
So follow me/where i go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow
I'm a simple man/i have no one
I walk the streets in dusk/to find the air
Sometimes i dream i'm alone
Asleep on the prairie grass
Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last
Upon the river dread/i drew forth
The very face of death/for her corpse
I played so all within
Would come and watch
A gaze away from her is what i'd bought
So follow me/where i go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow
As my city burns/her boulevards
I seal my love in fate/and now this comes
My prayers are real and i can't rest
To watch prairie songs
From dragon's breath
Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last
City long ago/i was your son
I wed your daugter fair
And i was yours
You called me to come
And sift your roads
To sing prairie songs
And keep the cold
So follow me/where i go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow
