as far as you take me, that's where i believe
the realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me
as all the thought police, are closing in for sleep
the dilly dally, of my bright lit stay
the steam of my misfortunes
has given me the power to be afraid
and in my mind i'm everyone
and in my mind
without a care in this whole world
without a care in this life
it's what you take that makes it right
porcelina of the oceans blue
in the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
to the fringes gladly, i walk unadorned
with gods and their creations
with filth and disease
porcelina, she waits for me there
with seashell hissing lullabyes
and whispers fathomed deep inside my own
hidden thoughts and alibis
my secret thoughts come alive
without a care in this whole world
without a care in this life
it's what you take that makes it right
and in my mind i'm everyone
in my mind i'm everyone of you
you make it right
it's all allright
you make it right
porcelina of the oceans blue

This is an amazing performance. Pumpkins rule! They are one of the top 5 bands of all time, up there with Floyd, Zeppelin, Beatles and Tool! And i have to give Jimmy Chamberlin props, he is never mentioned in top anything drummers, but he is a freakin drum machine.

I hear all the analysis of SP not being the same after MCIS, but as I listen to Adore now it is a f'ing awesome album. And get this, Zeitgeist is so much better than what others seem to think. Then again, I'm not like other people.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! without a care in this whole world!!!

Time machine, please.

I saw this shit live in INDY in 96 and without a doubt, THE BEST SHOW EVER! Two ginormous drum sets, Chamberlin and the keyboardest rocked them side by side to Bullet w Butterfly wings. When the slow part explodes, they fell silent and the place went black, they came in real and just before explosion, it went black again. The third time, when they got to chorus, The whole f-ing place erupted. Coolest thing I've ever seen

I saw them 18 days before this show, in the front row. Still the best show I went to, hands down. Mind blown.
