The Smashing Pumpkins - Doomsday Clock Lyrics

Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes
To find out

Apocalyptic thieves
Are lost amongst our dead
A message to our friends
To get out

There's wagers on this fear
Ooh, ooh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay
To hear

They're bound to kill us all
In white-washed halls
The jackals lick their paws

Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
Will they ever stop?

This doomsday clock
Tickin' in my heart
Not broken

I love life everyday
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud
To find out

I'm certain of the end
It's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth
To get out

I guess that I'm born free
C'est le vie
I was meant to beg
From my knees

Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
Will they ever stop?

This doomsday clock
Tickin' in my heart
These lonely days
Will they ever stop?

Gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine
Overhead

If this is living
Sakes alive
Well then we can't win
No one survives

Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams
Mean nothing to the dead

Kiss your little son
To know all there is
C'mon, last call
You should want it all!

It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
Will they ever stop?

This doomsday clock
Tickin' in my heart
These lonely days
Will they ever stop?

It's tickin' in my heart
Is everyone afraid?
