{{col-float|1='''William Patrick Corgan'''
{{lyrics|lonely street humming
grasshopper worn
violent heat drumming
entrenched body warm
war helmets shattered
pooling in the mud
flowers from venus
soaking bubbling blood
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's the dream
pitching wretched tuesday
she knows what i mean
sniffing metal door
flexing metal screen
yesterday's the thought
tomorrow's the dream
the biggest carnivals
fed with gasoline
image of phillip
he knows what i mean
broken glass morning
moonlit prosecution
searing galleon-chandelier
midnight execution
pictures of phillip
plastered on the wall
images of phillip
fade in the wall
creation of phillip
baby body worn
the death of phillip
broken soul torn}}
