Ted's Song of the Week - 08/24/05

The End Is The Beginning Is The End
Smashing Pumpkins
Batman and Robin OST

This week I chose a song I had all but forgot about until a couple weeks ago. My fellow contributor, Steve, had come to visit for a weekend and brought along this tasty single along with a bevy of others on his Ipod. From the moment I heard the first few seconds of this song, I was hurdled back to a time when life was simple and George Clooney was a horrible Batman.
Not to be confused with their other contribution to the Batman and Robin soundtrack,"The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning", this track was a rare gem on an otherwise weak album.

Lyrics:
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange

Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain

The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
