99 Floors Lyrics
I used to know you
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I won't touch you
I won't feel you
I won't hear you
I won't see you
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I used to know you
I used to care
It goes far and wide
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind
I won't reach out
I won't strike in
I won't dream about
I won't parse the thought
I used to know you
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I jumped from the top
And fell right back and I
Hit the ground running
Scared
I swam to the bottom of the sea
And I asked around for someone
Who might know me
Ain't a sad when your choices
are Vegas and your friends
99 floors
And still nowhere to go
99 floors
And still nowhere to roam
A punch to the head
I passed right out and an
impotent stood dumbstruck
and stared
Armed once again by the fist of fate
I wait for his resurrection home
Ain't it sad when your choices
are vices or advice
It's eleven o'clock
And don't that make you bawl
It's eleven o'clock
And don't ya make it bawl
Evil, ailing
Feeling oh so low
I'm slow to anger
Wonder where I could
Ever go
You know I'd have to forget
It goes far and wide
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I won't feel you
I won't hear you
I won't see you
Are you still there?
I used to know you
I used to care
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind
I won't strike in
I won't dream about
I won't parse the thought
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
And fell right back and I
Hit the ground running
Scared
I swam to the bottom of the sea
And I asked around for someone
Who might know me
are Vegas and your friends
And still nowhere to go
99 floors
And still nowhere to roam
I passed right out and an
impotent stood dumbstruck
and stared
Armed once again by the fist of fate
I wait for his resurrection home
are vices or advice
And don't that make you bawl
It's eleven o'clock
And don't ya make it bawl
Feeling oh so low
I'm slow to anger
Wonder where I could
Ever go
You know I'd have to forget
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind

This song reminds me of my best friend. We're going through some tough times. Things are rough.
Billy Corgan never fails to make me feel like I have someone to relate to. His music is always there to catch me when I need it to.
i have only recently come across this beautiful song by billy corgan....he seems to be the spokesman for any and all of us that have felt the true depths of pain,dissapointment and disillusionment..he will continue to try and "grow beautiful flowers out of the cracks in the pavement" no matter the diversity or hardship....to make beauty out of the ugliness and injustices of life is to be a master magician and after listening to his song 99 floors i realize that he is the the absolute best at what he does...he is truly the houdini of his craft........

I know what you mean. I can relate to his music as well. This song is very beautiful.
This is the best song they have made since the reunion and yet they aren't even going to record it. It truly makes me sad. :(
