Arguably one of the most famous non-singles that came out of 90s alternative rock, “Drown” is a testament to the bold moves taken by Billy Corgan.

[Verse 1]
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far
Just to see you I'll come around
When I'm down
[Hook]
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
[Verse 2]
No matter where you are

[Hook]
All of those yesterdays

[Outro]
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye
