I AM ONE

This is from the album Gish and was also the very first Smashing Pumpkins single. The original 7" had a slightly different version, and it's worth lots and lots of money these days. Since the Siamese Dream days, Billy has been adding an inprovised rant in the middle of the song when it's performed live. In George, WA in 1993 they also played a really heavy, speeded up version.

I am one as you are three
Try to find a messiah in your trinity
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you'll burn
Am I as I seem?
I'm down
Down, so down

Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you'll burn

See you, don't you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don't you just want to
See you

See you, don't you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don't you just want to
See you, I am one
