Cover art for Hummer lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

" Faith lies in The ways of sin" Someone want's to get somewhere but there life stands in the way, a life of sin.

"I chased the charmed But I don't want them anymore"

A famous person wanted to be famous but now they don't want anything more.

"And in their eyes I was alive A fool's disguise Take me away from you" Everyone thought that person was fine, this person masks their discontent with their appearence.

"Shame my tongue Fat with promise all along"

I lied and I broke a promise

"But when I woke up from that sleep I was happier than I'd ever been" When I realised my problem I was glad.

"When you decide That your life is a prize" When you find out what life is about.

"Renew and revive It's alright honey It's alright, yeah" Aim your goals at that.

"Happiness will make you wonder Will I feel OK?" I look happy, but i'm not.

"It scares the disenchanted Far away" Just that, it makes it look like there is no sorrow in that person.

"Yeah I want something new But what am I supposed to do about you Yeah I love you, it's true" I think you is this persons fans and they are tired of getting nowhere.

"Life's a bummer When you're a hummer Life's a drag" Life sucks when you are feeling this way

"Ask yourself a question Anyone but me I ain't free" I'm too busy

Ask yourself a question Anyone but me I ain't free

"Do you feel Love is real?" Can this person feel happy again?

I think it was based on Billy and how he was so sad around the Siamese Dream period.
