"Again, Again, Again (The Crux)" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' 2008 EP, American Gothic. The song was described to be catchiest on the EP, and features drum fills played by Jimmy Chamberlin.[1]
After performing the song in Los Angeles in late 2006 at an event organized by Pete Townshend's girlfriend, Corgan was asked by Townshend himself if the song was going to be on Zeitgeist. While the song did not make the album, Corgan always planned to release it in some form, resulting in its appearance on American Gothic.[2]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
i love you, i don't even care
if it takes my life, or heaven unaware
sin for sin, i've let you in, and still i'm caught
so put my heart, on your chopping block
and feed me fire, but don't let go!
hey don't let go!, don't let go
again, again, again
when will i see you again?
before the world should end, when will i see you again?
when will i see you again?
again...
struck deeply, some never heal
caught beyond a prism, i conceal
judgement day, comes every day to us all
so fall in love, oh if you must!
but don't let go! hey don't let go!
don't let go
again, again, again
when will i see you again?
before the world should end, when will i see you again?
it never stops the starting up
the atrophy, the cruel enough
the vision of oblivion, and when it ends it all begins
to start again and then you're in
so grab my hand should you believe, there's a destiny
when will i see you again? when will i see you?
again, again, again
when will i see you again?
before the world should end, when will i see you?
again...
