Now (and Then) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by yseult 

Cover art for Now (and Then) lyrics by Billy Corgan

"so hid me when you go back amongst the reeds"

sad allusion to the baby Moses. abandoned by his mother and left behind in a basket, nestled in the reeds beside the River Nile ... found and rescued by an Egyptian Princess.

i think we should just be friends. it's better for both of us this way.
