must the plan be always to attack?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

you might ask yourself
how do i feel if i have no feelings?
you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
you might ask yourself
just how deep is the bottom of the ocean?

BC: Thank you, thank you. Thank you. A couple of things, um.... Thank you, thank you very much for a great concert tonight, thank you very much. It is always an honor to play in Japan, this is our fifth tour, so thank you for inviting us back always. Second of all, uh, website, we have a website, Smashing Pumpkins dot com. We're as big as Microsoft, it's true, so if we could please take your picture for the website. Please um, please look like you're having a good time so that people around the world will think that you enjoyed the concert.
Iha: (screams) (grunts repeatedly) (screams) (grunts) ... No more.
BC: Uh, do you have any requests? If you could shout out songs between May 1st, 1997 and June 12th, 1998, that would be preferable. Does my American humor translate? No. ... Excuse me, there's a samurai down here, he wants something. We would now like to finish the concert with one of our classic hits because there are so many. This goes way back to 1992. Who remembers 1992? We certainly don't but we remember this song. This is called Drown.
