New Smashing Pumpkins Song For Batman & Robin Film
Addicted to Noise
April 18, 1997
The Smashing Pumpkins have recorded a new song for the soundtrack of the upcoming Batman and Robin film entitled "The End is the Beginning is the End."
The song features former NIN member Chris Vrenna and will be the first single from the album. The Pumpkins are scheduled to convene with the movie's director, Joel Schumacher, next month, to film a video for the song.
The fourth Batman caper features yet another new Dark Knight, this time ER's George Clooney, with side-kick Chris O'Donnell, Batgirl Alicia Silverstone, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy and a silver-flecked Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.
The sewers belched me up
the heavens spit me out
from esau's tragic I am born again
and now I'm with you now
inside your world of woe
to move in this place of deadly return
'til the end times begin
Chorus:
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you're so sane?
And in your darkest hour
my whole secrets fade
you can watch the world devour it instead
Climb my ribcage too
the replays run for you
unhook my lights to peek behind the glare
for I am crystal grown
and I am shadown known
and I am crumbled king of angels of death
to destroy the end
Chorus
The zepplins rain upon us
the guns of love disastrous
a shadow lies amongst you
to defy the future
Chorus
Send a heartbeat to
The boy that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood
The sinner grieves
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
We can watch the world devoured in it's hate
Delivered from the blast
A lesson learned at last
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down unknown
And I am master of a nothing place
Of recoil and race
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
My whole secret's fake
We can watch the world devoured in it's hate
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No-one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lies beside me
There's no more need to protect
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
My whole secret's fake
We can watch the world devoured in it's hate
Strange
Strange
Strange
