Smashing Pumpkins - Sad Peter Pan Lyrics






It's the plan of most
To discover that magnificent ghost
When did I get perverted
And my innocent eyes diverted from the view so grand
Imbued with distractions
I'm greedy like Senior Babbitt
I'm just chasing that electric rabbit
I'm a reluctant rebel
I just want to be Aaron Neville
With a crown on my head
And my denim shirt all dark with sweat
I'm just pushing the paint around
On advice from your lying mouth
You touched me and then you ran
And left a sad Peter Pan
All alone and awkward
But a transformation, I swear it will occur

  3. m.... ....

    this is so jesus and the mary chain meets the cure meets the smiths

  4. A.... S....

    @nicholsjoshua15 Billy didn't make it up. This was written by Vic Chestnutt in, I think, 1994.

  5. K.... ....

    Okay, I just found my new favorite Pumpkins song...

  6. J.... ....

    @ptiiteliiz I have mo idea who "Senior Babbitt" is but I bet dime to a dollar that it's just a name Billy made up to sound strange.

  7. A.... ....

    I thought when I originally heard this song... well Billy's dad was a Jazz musician and I thought this was him doing a song with him. I lost the mp3 and couldn't find it and just thought to look it up on the net. Love this song and the pumpkins are the best. ...too bad the story wasn't true.

  8. O.... ....

    @JuCorgan I thought exactly the same thing when I heard the song for the first time... But then I read the other band was Red Red Meat. :)

  9. a.... ....

    Magnificent ;( time will tear us from this world, slowly we rot.

  10. E.... M....

    Hi guys ! I'm french so perhaps I don't understand at all the lyrics but, who is "Senior Babbitt" ?

  11. j.... ....

    And You're Lying
    RIP Vic Chesnutt

  16. m.... ....

    absolutely perfect.
    is that james singing lead?

  17. B.... ....

    It's Red Red Meat, who are collaborating on this song. SP have been connected with the band from way back.

  18. B.... ....

    Well one person usually isn't considered a "band." "Band" implies more than one person.

  19. h.... ....

    after this band no one can call him self a band

  20. s.... ....

    Amen to that....

  21. e.... ....

    es una canción llena de sentimientos, magnífica rola.

  22. T.... C....

    I remember seeing a boy wearing a shirt that read "Sad Peter Pan" at the Tower Records meet & greet with the Smashing Pumpkins. I fell in love with him but he never knew of my love.

  23. J.... N....
