Medellia of the Grey Skies Lyrics
You're an empty promise
You're an easy chair
You're the gods forces
Struck down somewhere
You're a secret noticed
You're a mystery sky
You're a wish floated
Up to the night
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I would love you still
And if I could
I'd throw away this world
I'd dress you all in pearls
I'd give you what you wanted
You're all I notice
You're all I feel
Your vacant notice
unmoved, revealed
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the silence when I drive
And if you say you will
I would love you still
And if I could be
Just anyone for you
Just anyone at all
Just anything that mattered, washed out
You're a silly reason
You're a goldfish laugh
You're the ageless seasons
At rest, at last
You're an easy chair
You're the gods forces
Struck down somewhere
You're a mystery sky
You're a wish floated
Up to the night
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I would love you still
I'd throw away this world
I'd dress you all in pearls
I'd give you what you wanted
You're all I feel
Your vacant notice
unmoved, revealed
You're the emptiness of I
You're the silence when I drive
And if you say you will
I would love you still
Just anyone for you
Just anyone at all
Just anything that mattered, washed out
You're a goldfish laugh
You're the ageless seasons
At rest, at last

the word medellia is almost identical to the word medallia in hebrew wich means simply a Medal - medallion , A prize.. i think thats what he meant, although i real don't have a clue
Lyrics are piss-poor. Never known anyone to be a mystery sky. Nice song all the same 5/10
@PeteBurns Are you kidding me? The lyrics are BEAUTIFUL! Billy is is one of the best songwriters in music!

In appears, people really have different views of what "good lyrics" are. Also, mystery sky is for concept not character

Sang this whole song in a drunken depression to my best friend after a breakup - he used to call me Medellia, when he loved me.
Beautiful sweet song... It makes me wanna change my name to medellia... lol
this song is so wonderfully elegant. billy makes it sound so beautiful, and it's one of my favourite quiet pumpkins song. dedicated to my very own medellia. anyways, that's what i think...
Excellent song. I read that it was written as a companion piece to Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (hence the title similarity) but didn't make the album cut, even though Billy Corgan said it "turned out much more beautiful than I ever dreamed possible."
I think that once again Billy is personifying a concept. Such a beautiful song.
"you're the reason that I write" i can hardly think of a statement more powerful
aye. i totally agree with batwing.
Great song! That's all I can say!
