Question Mark The Smashing Pumpkins

[Verse 1]
What is this frightened air between us?
What is the question posed?
Where is this violence I sense creeping?
What is your secret code?
I want to know
Why are the pipers calling towards us?
What are we meant to show?
Why are you smiling daggers at me?
What do you have that's mine to hold?

[Chorus 1]
It's the song I sing
It's the song I sing
I pull into town
Smoke rings around the square
I tarry the ground
Feathers and flame shall explode
But are we getting close?
To an answer?
To my questions?
To my small notions of Rome?

[Verse 2]
Where does [?] sustain you should follow?
Why are we laying low?
Why must the cannons reap for nothing?
Where must the depths be neatly sowed?
I have to know
Why are the crows, crowing boldly?
Must blink and go?
Are the unknown, knowing rising?
What is the unknown to your lost soul?
I've got to know
I race into town bleeding like some kind of bitch
I'm down on my knees digging a new kind of ditch
Graced with pretty words but no answers to my questions
