Lyrics: Smashing Pumpkins. MACHINA/The Machines Of God. This Time.

This time I need to know
I really must be told
If it's over

It's up to you to know
The things you want to hold
Are in pieces

Crashing down
Crashing down again
Crashing down
Crashing down my friends

I've got to move it on
I've got to sing my song
While I still can

Dispatch the last alarms
Hand out the last few charms
There's no surprises

Only love
Only love can win
Crashing down
Crashing down again

Only love
Yeah, only love will win
Crashing down
Crashing down again

This time I need to know
I really must be told
That it's over

I've lived my life alone
My every step foretold
To never linger

And yet it haunts me so
What are we letting go
Our spell is broken

Crashing down
Crashing down my friends
Crashing down
Crashing down again

Only love
Yeah, only love will
Be enough
Yeah, only love will win

For every chemical
You trade a piece of your soul
With no return

And who you think you know
Doesn't know you at all
Their drain is needless

Someday we'll wave hello
And wish we'd never waved goodbye
To this romance

We'll drink up every line
And shoot up every word
Till there's no more

Crashing down
Crashing down my friends
Only love
Only love can win

So cry these tears we'll cry as all
We've held so long to fall apart
As the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight
