เพลง Methusela (Sadlands Demo)

Methusela - Smashing Pumpkins

Written by：Billy Corgan

What'd your father say to you

When he reached right through you

Did he say the things that he had learned

From his father too

So when do you become your own man

Become your own

Are you just a shadow on

Something whole

We are Chinese boxes

Equal parts present in past

Where do I begin and end up

Saw those old eyes staring right

Back at me

So tell me what you need

I'll be watching out for you

There are no enemies

Only dangerous friends

You grew up very fast

I didn't think I'd miss a thing

'Cause nothing ever lasts

A wise old man

A wise young fool

A wise young man

A wise old fool

Try to understand

No needs me

Come for me understand be

No needs me

Come for me understand be

What'd your father say to you

Turn you cold

Father never quite grew up

He just grew old

If I was to say to you

You know I love him still

Would you think less of me

For hating me

We are Chinese boxes

Equal parts present and past

We are so unconscious

Saw those old eyes staring right back at me

So try to understand

I'm just like you

And you me

Exactly who I am

Might escape you always

The fortunes of a man

Are the debts of the son always

A wise old man

A wise young fool

A wise young man

A wise old fool
