wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
your innocence is all i have
breathing underwater, and living under glass

and if you spin your love around
the secrets of your dreams
you may find your love is gone
and is not quite what it seemed
to appear to disappear
beneath all your darkest fears

i believe in never, i believe in all the way
but belief is not to notice, believe is just some faith
and faith can't help you to escape
and with this ring i wed thee true
and with this ring i wed thee now
and with this ring i play so dead
but no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you
if you spin your love around
the secrets of your dreams
you may find your love is gone
and is not quite what it seemed
to appear to disappear
beneath all your darkest fears

to the revelations of fresh faced youth
no one will come to save you
so speak your peace in the murmurs drawn
but youth is wasted on the young
your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
my love for you just can't explain
why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful,
forever lost inside ourselves

the night has come to hold us young

To Underscoredan:

Request you put the lyrics in your info block. They are as awesome as the music. Such a perfect compliment.

The more i see Jimmy play live... the higher he goes on my alltime best drummers list. And i am not talking about pure technical stuff like Jazz/Fusion stuff i mean smack you in the ear, thump on your chest good shit... watch out Danny Carey and Bonzo... he's catching you quickly.

The 90s were pretty good music wise. Now nobody is making music like this.

@MechanicalChrist1 Fuck you for being such a dick. When you create something, then you get to say something.

Jimmy is just amazing on this!!

"Youth is wasted on the young"

I was young and wasted when I first heard this.

I'm not young any more, but I'm still wasted and this is still fucking awesome.

I went to see the Pumpkins at this very venue on Wednesday ... absolutely loved it - they played this song.

Then I saw this and my jaw fell. I'm 100% pro the new Pumpkins, the new band is great, but ... this, this is just something else

[MechanicalChrist1]

this is real Pumpkins, fuck the new band

[sweetpeajunglebean]

this is some of the best stuff ever.

[gnr4life23]

[larryoduncan]

[GAdawgsfan93]

@larryoduncan have u seen the live performance of Geek USA w/ all the clowns on YouTube? That is his best proof of drumming genius.
