Speed Kills Lyrics

Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Speed Kills

speed kills, but beauty lives forever
speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
i fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
and stood still beside eternal flame

and when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
with all i'd asked
and all i'd pray
the last rose of summer would stay

first time that i ever saw you
crashing hard, the daze of pain
you were one of god's children
left to cry out in the rain
waiting to be saved again

'cause when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
and all i'd ask
and all i pray
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone
long gone, gone
the last rose of summer is gone

when i ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
forever young
forever blind
into the stars
we rock tonight

last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer is gone
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone

Jimmy Chamberlin is such a great drummer. Plays with such power and poise. Doesn't do any thing technically spectacular with this song but his passion is excellent. Who f'ing cares about the drums though? You're here for the lyrics..
