The Smashing Pumpkins - Speed Kills

Speed Kills
MACHINA II (EP2) (2000)
Written by Billy Corgan
Performed by The Smashing Pumpkins

Lyrics:

Speed kills but beauty lives forever
Speed thrills but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter
And stood still beside eternal flame

'Cause when I ride with you tonight
We can move at the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
The last rose of summer will stay

The first time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard thru days of pain
You were one of God's children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again

'Cause when I ride with you tonight
We can move at the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone
Gone
The last rose of summer is gone

And when I ride with you tonight
We can move at the speed of light
Forever young, forever blind
Into the stars, we rock tonight

The last rose of summer is gone

I heard this was a hidden track on Machina: The Machines of God pt. 1, is that true?

[foxylady1984]

@airwalkcrazy360 No, at least not on the American release. Maybe it was on an international release, but I've never heard of it being so. *shrug*

I love this song so much. Thanks for uploading it. I'm really low right now and this helps.

This version of Speed Kills is from the second EP of Machina II - the one that was released for free on the internet. It's not hard to find, check your torrents!

@Backyardrastlexx In the "Stand Inside Your Love" single as a B-side. In my opinion way better than this version!

[booklearn]

Where did this come from? Machina 111?

[ribrib7648]

@airwalkcrazy360 - speed kills is on the vinyl release of machina

@foxylady1984

Japanese version of MACHINA had a version of this song as a bonus track but it was totally different. None of the guitar solos and vocals sounded different. This version is better.

[Backyardrastlexx]

Does anyone know where to get the other version of this song at?

[remd3]

@foxylady1984 the version of speed kills that appears on the stand inside your love single also appears on the international versions of machina

I recognized the meaning of those symbols on the cover just 7 years after the first time I listened to this song. " We can move at speed of light"
