Likely referring to "What If", Corgan once described the early version as a hippy folk song with funnier lyrics. He then rewrote the lyrics, while making the music sparser and more fragmented. Corgan considered rewriting the lyrics again but [[D'arcy Wretzky~~|D'arcy~~]] convinced him to keep the lyrics the same as you hear on the album.<ref name=":0">''Rockline - July 13, 1998''.
