Now (and Then) Lyrics

Now (and Then) lyrics

(Billy Corgan)



peace colours

what's left of mine

I used to find

pennies crushed on tracks

it's a long way back to the station



now and then

I could be a friend

I could be a friend

now and then

now and then to you

I could be a friend of use

so hide me when you go

back amongst the reeds



cable coils

around my neck

whatever's best

it seems insane to me

can't escape the family tree

roots are buried deep

deep as you can climb

I'll do

I could be a friend to you



now and then

I could be a friend

now and then

I could be a friend

now and then to you

I could be a friend of use

no second chance at this

I'll watch you making love with them



build a fire

behind the school

come and visit soon

if you're blue and alone

hold my hand they're coming back for more

there's always one more score

I'm sure to blame for this

I've got to get this change through and through



now and then

I could be a friend

I could be a friend

now and then

I could be a friend

I could be a friend

now and then
