From SPCodex, The Smashing Pumpkins wiki
"Anaise!" is a song off of The Smashing Pumpkins's 2014 studio album, Monuments to an Elegy. The main riff was written during the Oceania tour.

A riff I'd come up with during the Oceania touring, but its shred-factor gets lost because it's too busy. Stripping away what wasn't essential about what sells in it, I locked a synth bass through a fuzz and ended on one drilling figure, and that broke down the guitar part until there was just a ghost left. Vroom! SP magik.

Lyrics
Anaise! Anaise! In a captive's coat
In a word, a word, I can't let go
I need her so
You haunt me Anaise
In the finds, a sign, of lonely ones
And you're her, to gnash
What's done is done
It's simply known
Despite her hold out on me
Ooh, what must count as use for lovers?
Ooh, send this on the wings
Lovers let me hear from you as you all go under
Anaise
Love you, Anaise
Anaise! Anaise! What's thread as blown
By your times, blackhearts, and lace built own
An armies woe
Oh now don't you, Anaise
Ooh, what should count as doom for lovers?
Ooh, send this by her wing
Lovers let me hear from you as you go asunder
Ooh, send this by the wing
If I could raise her?
Suppose I'd dare?
Just to brace against her will
Imagine reeling
From twilight to scare
All to stand within the grace
Ooh, what becomes of use as lovers
Ooh, send this by the wing
Lovers let us hear from you as you all go under
Anaise
Love you, Anaise
Love you, Anaise
