Being Beige Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't love you
For what it's worth
So if you're leaving
Can you hurt?
Cherry blossom
This is goodbye
Come here lately
And you'll fly
[Pre-Chorus]
When they say
What it's worth
The world tells you first
And you know
Where to hurt
[Chorus]
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
Have you heard?
Lover let me please
Fall on down your knees
Lover let me please
Be the one
Know the prayers to make
For lovers made to fade
(lovers made to fade)
And when you swore to wait and only burst
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
Have you heard?
[Verse 2]
Yes I loved you
As a matter of fact
Your furs are wrapped up
And that's that
[Chorus]
Lover let me please
Fall onto your knees
You once made me smile
Then you strayed
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
Have you heard?
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
The world's on fire so
Have you heard?
[Bridge]
Lover have you breached?
To make for your release?
(To make for your release)
So I'll no longer err by your side
What's to hide?
[Outro]
The world's on fire
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Monday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Tuesday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Wednesday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Thursday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Friday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Saturday
The world's on fire
Until I'm ready on Sunday

Billy Corgan via VEVO:
I really fought for the song. I said to Howard [the album’s producer], ‘Never underestimate a great simple song.’ Having written many, many songs in my life, great simple songs are the hardest to write. ‘Being Beige’ has this really tricky quality that makes it seem like an...
